Erikson stated that the interaction of
social system and individual
characteristics are responsible for
resolution of developmental
conflicts
Erikson’s model is divided into 8
stages

5.  Teachers who apply psychosocial development in the
classroom create an environment where each child feels
appreciated and is comfortable with learning new things
and building relationships with peers without fear

6.  At the preschool level, teachers want to focus on
developing a hardy personality.
 Classroom examples incorporated at the Preschool
level:
 1. Find out what students are interested in and create
projects that incorporate their area of interest.
2. Let the children be in charge of the learning process
when participating in a classroom project.
 3. Make sure to point out and praise students for good
choices.
 4. Offer continuous feedback on work that has been
completed.

7. Teachers should focus on achievement
and peer relationships at the elementary
level
Classroom examples at Elementary level
are as follows:
1. Create a list of classroom duties that
needed to be completed on a scheduled
base
2. Discuss and post classroom rules
3. Encourage students to think outside of
their day-to-day routine

8.  During the middle and high school years, building identity
and self-esteem should be part of a teacher's focus.
 Classroom examples at Middle School and High
School are:
 1-Treat all students equally. Do not show favoritism to a
certain group of students based on gender.
 2-Encourage students to develop confidence by trying
different approaches to solving problems.
 3-Incorporate life skills into lesson planning to increase
confidence and self-sufficiency.
