Abstract: This presentation introduces an Open Educational Resource (“About Development”) designed to help psychology students take a wider view of development beyond age-related changes in children. Through three strategies - relatable analogies, multiscale explanatory frames, and "thinking questions" - students gain a deeper appreciation of the biological context of human development.
