Subject:

Early Childhood Education

Description:

Students learn about the development of child scientific thinking through the lens of cultural, linguistic, and ability diverse contexts. They learn that science is the study of the physical and natural world through observation and experimentation within the Art as a Way of Learning (AWL) framework. Students create and implement standards-based science learning experiences and environments using evidence based practice, including Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Students assess child learning and build reciprocal partnerships with families and professionals; they use community resources to support child scientific thinking. Weekly field experience hours are required outside of class time. To meet Pennsylvania department of education guidelines, students must have completed clearance paperwork on file with the department.
