Students will identify the emergent processes of early childhood development as they apply to learning and teaching in early childhood education programs. An emphasis on theoretical perspectives specifically related to early childhood development, developmentally appropriate delivery models and practices, and historical movements that guide teaching and learning in early childhood education settings will be identified as they impact the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of young children. An understanding of the nature of early childhood education services and programs for young children with special needs will be demonstrated. Developmentally appropriate assessment processes and observation tools will be studied and applied in field based early childhood settings. Field experience is required in this course. This course is required for the option of an AA degree in Education as a replacement of EDUC 105 for students interested in a career in early childhood education (Prerequisites: READ 091/READ 092 sequence or READ 095 and ENGL 095 or passing scores on reading and English Basic Skills Test)
