Curricula
1. Curriculum Guide for
Education on Child Maltreatment
(Graduate & Undergraduate)
The Section has developed a curriculum guide to help professors and
lecturers who want to incorporate information about child abuse and neglect
into their teaching of graduate and undergraduate students. The guide
includes introductory and advanced resources on a variety of child
maltreatment topics including: 1) Definitions of child maltreatment, 2)
Incidence and prevalence rates, 3) Causes of child maltreatment, 4)
Consequences associated with child maltreatment, 5) Treatment issues, 6)
Prevention, and 7) Legal issues. The curriculum guide also provides
resources on controversial issues in the field of child maltreatment and
provides current online resources on the topic. Not only is the guide
especially helpful to those who are teaching on topics related to child
maltreatment, but it is also useful as a resource concerning issues and
influential articles in the field.

2. An Introduction to Child Maltreatment
(
High School)The purpose of this curriculum is to provide teachers of psychology in secondary schools with information related to teaching about the topic of child maltreatment. Because most introductory psychology textbooks provide very limited information on this topic, teachers need supplemental materials that provide specific information about child maltreatment and suggestions for approaching this topic with students. Once teachers are equipped with information and resources on child maltreatment, they can then disseminate information on the topic to their students.
