=Age=

By Sarah Robinson and Josh Daigle
Each person who lives long enough will become a part of every age group. Without choice, we must all go through the various stages in life and eventually join the ranks of the aged. When becoming a teacher it is important to remember and understand that your students are going to be going through the various stages of life. Every one of your students will be faced with different challenges in their lives that have to do with their age and what is associated with that age physically and emotionally. These challenges and what is associated with age that your students will be include: social class and poverty, children, ethnic awareness, and prejudice, child abuse, childhood obesity, relationship with parents, substance abuse, sexual behaviors, suicide, and youth violence. The book classifies age into the following categories: Childhood, Adolescence, Young Adulthood, Adulthood, and The Aged. As a teacher that wants to have a meaningful and engaged learning classroom, then you must learn about and understand certain things that connect to the students of their age group such as: hip-hop culture, young adult hood, generation y, and generation z.
