Educational Psychology examines psychological principles as they apply to education in the areas of learning, a lifespan approach to child and adolescent development, social influences on learning, and the teacher as a classroom leader. Both the individual and the peer group are studied from physical, mental, emotional, and social points of view. There will be opportunities in professional activities. Some examples are Phi Delta Kappa, Council for Exceptional Children, Illinois Science Teachers’ Association and the K-8 Science Update Conference.
