Milestones is a powerful tool that allows students to experience life as it unfolds – from infancy to late adulthood. Milestones consists of two essential components that work together to capture key changes throughout the lifespan: Milestones of Child Development and Milestones: Transitions. In Milestones of Child Development, students track the early stages of physical, social and emotional development. By watching one child over time or comparing various children, Milestones provides a unique, experiential learning environment that can only be achieved by watching real human development as it happens– all in pre- transitional and post milestone segments. In Milestones: Transitions, students meet a series of people, from teenagers to people in late adulthood, to hear their perspective on changes that occur throughout the rest of the lifespan. In addition, McGraw-Hill’s Milestones includes a powerful, customizable assessment tool, to help students and instructors track progress and gage understanding of key course concepts.
LifeSmart, at 448 pages, is a briefer text that covers the entire lifespan in 13 chapters, appropriate for the course and yet manageable for students to read.
