ECH 2163 - Parenting and Community

Institution:

Black River Technical College

Subject:

Description:

This is a one-semester college level mixed media mode distance education course in early childhood education that employs 6 classroom meetings, video viewing, assigned observations in a child care center, one extended project with an individual presentation component reflecting on childcare, parenting, and community concerns, a midterm, and final assessment report. Parenting and Community focuses on the study of the developing child within the family structure as well as within the protective structure of the childcare center as well as the larger community. Several of the video modules explore variations on caregiving across geographical lines. Each style illuminates the others as well as itself and this juxtaposition of traditions and theories allows for better understanding of various approaches, clearer contrasts among the different ways of taking care of children, and a greater understanding of underlying similarities within all.
