PPOL-524 CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND PUBLIC POLICY

PPOL-524 CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND PUBLIC POLICY
Fall only
Faculty:
  • Morrison, Donna
    • In this course students explore the role that public policy has in child development and well-being. The primary focus is on the formative pre-school years. Specific topics include measuring child development, compensatory education (Head Start), family structure and child well-being, child support, family support services and child care. The way in which contrasting political and social ideologies about children’s issues influence public policy is examined. Students will discuss both the opportunities and limitations of public policy in affecting the status of children.
