Description:

In this seminar with practicum, students develop curriculum and assessment strategies for working with infants, toddlers, preschool, and kindergarten children. This work is based on the developmental needs, conceptual understandings, and skills appropriate for children at different ages in areas of math, science, social studies, the arts, and literacy. Through a seven-hour weekly practicum experience in a series of classrooms, students examine children's construction of knowledge. Focus is on role of teacher, classroom environment, and activities in promoting development. Students will be asked to consistently reflect on some aspect of classroom dynamics and to relate it to their growing knowledge of child development and relationships among professionals. Construction of an electronic teaching portfolio begins in this course. 3 CREDIT S
