ED 332 - Methods in Early Childhood Education

Institution:

Caldwell University

Subject:

Description:

Students will gain an appreciation of the importance of a diverse learning environment that enhances the unique talents of each child. Understanding the significant roles that family, community and school play in a child's success will assist students in the design of an integrated curriculum that not only addresses the typical and atypical child, but provides for active involvement of all support groups. Students will apply principles of child development (physical, language, cognitive, social/emotional) along with issues of race, culture, gender, special needs, readiness and experience to create an environment that promotes self-esteem and school success. Through field experience, students will be exposed to various methods of curriculum and instruction: small group, whole group, cooperative learning, collaboration, learning centers and modifications for "Inclusive"practices or self-contained special education programs. Students will be challenged to design environments that blend traditional with current methods of multi-media and technology. Field requirement (12 hours). Prerequisite: ED 333.
