Oxford Learning Link Oxford Learning Link is your central hub for a wealth of engaging digital learning tools and resources to help you get the most of your Oxford University Press course material. Available online exclusively to adopters, the Oxford Learning Link includes all of the instructor resources that accompany Child Development: Context, Culture, and Cascades 1e. Suggested Answers to “Check Your Understanding” Questions These PDFs provide suggested answers from the author for all of the “Check Your Understanding” questions included at the end of learning objective subsections in the book. Instructor’s Manual The Instructor’s Manual, written by the author and based on her experience teaching the course, includes chapter outlines, descriptions of classroom activities/lecture launchers, and suggested video clips and descriptions. Lecture PowerPoints Complete lecture outlines for each chapter are available and ready for use in class. These include coverage of all important facts and concepts presented in each chapter.

Figure PowerPoints These include all of the figures presented in each chapter. Concepts in Action Real-Time Class Participation Activities To solve the problem of engaging students in large lec- ture classes, various questions, exercises, and activi- ties are available that engage students, asking them to respond in real time to prompts of various kinds (includ- ing knowledge and understanding checks). Professors will be able to use identifiers to track student responses and to see how they responded in real-time to facilitate discussion. Some activities enable students to experi- ence research studies first-hand, such as by responding to Stroop Task items or Implicit Association Tests of ste- reotypes, to see how their reaction times change on such tasks and to better understand the research material in chapters. Several activities are accompanied by Concepts in Action videos that more thoroughly explain the activi- ties and concepts under discussion. Test Bank A complete test bank provides instructors with a wide range of test items for each chapter, including multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, true/false, matching, short answer, and essay questions.
