McCord, Ivalee
This instructor's guide for a foster parent curriculum consists of specific curriculum material for the study of the social and psychological development of children aged 6 to 12. The guide is divided into 5 parts: (1) a developmental guide of normal child behavior and appropriate adult responses; (2) an outline for instruction which lists desired foster parent competencies, suggested readings for the instructor and teaching strategies; (3) the text: Section A discusses the child's transition to school, school and developmental tasks, self-concept, social accommodation, social-sex roles, moral development, independence, normal emotional development, handling strong emotions, relationships with family members, and making and keeping friends while Section B explores the guidance of the school-age child; (4) a set of discussion questions and instructor's answer guide; and (5) a bibliography of films for instructional use. An unpressured approach to instruction is suggested. (Author/RH)
