"Students in developmental psychology classes often struggle to contextualize the vast amount of content covered in the course. Built from a series of cases studies developed and actively used by Stephanie Wright, several colleagues, and a multitude of students, Cases in Lifespan Development offers students a fun, comprehensive view into life through key developmental stages. Students themselves have weighed in on the case details and outcomes, sharing their own observations, worries, and moments of triumph to build engrossing examples. By using paired assessment delivered through our SAGE Coursepacks for Tara Kuther's Lifespan Development: Lives in Context, Second Edition and Laura Levine and Joyce Munsch's Child Development: From Infancy to Adolescence, Second Edition, instructors and learners will also have the opportunity to check understanding, to actively apply developmental concepts and theories, to spark discussion, and to share experiences as they follow development through the semester. Cases in Lifespan Development offers 12 complete case studies that follow the human lifespan, as well as alternate case outcomes, a student guide, auto-graded assessment, discussion questions, and a digital instructor's guide. The format of the cases and assessment will allow students to make decisions, to fill gaps in foundational knowledge, to critically consider alternative choices based on real probabilities, data, and psych science, all while having fun. Cases in Lifespan Development will also connect students with unique, diverse, moving cases from all walks of life"--
