Description:

This course brings a contemplative view to learning the skills necessary for teaching preschool children, emphasizing the importance of observation and reflection. The class combines lecture, discussion, observation and experiential approaches. Students utilize developmentally appropriate practice and the seven core dispositions of teaching to examine the dynamics of the child, the adult and the environment within a contemplative setting. The class visits each of the internship settings and students are assigned their internship placements for the spring semester. The study of preschool teaching then focuses on the details of that particular philosophy and teacher.
