SS101  Psychology (grade 11 and 12)                        Spring:  1 semester:  5 units

This is a course which meets daily for a block period.  Areas of study will include theories of learning, motivation, emotions, personality development, mental illness, and abnormal psychology.  Students will participate in a counseling skills workshop, research one theorist, and read current research on a topic of their choice.  Through this course, the student will come to better understand the larger field of psychology as well as him/herself.

  • students are expected to be in class regardless of whether IMS is in session or on break

though these options are available, the administration of IMS does not promote them as alternatives to the actual classroom situation in which a teacher is physically present
