Subject:

Description:

An overview of current models of teaching in early childhood are explored. Students integrate the historical and current trends in educational practices within a developmentally appropriate classroom setting. An analytical approach to the influence of the school environment on young children's behavior is revisited as this knowledge applies to actual classroom practices. Instruction focuses on the implementation of an integrated, literacy-focused and individualized curriculum that is responsive to the needs and interests of children living in a culturally and linguistically diverse society. Students articulate their philosophy and support their decision-making within an educational setting. They plan the appropriate selection of materials, media, and technology to enhance instruction. A carefully orchestrated lesson is planned, implemented, taped, and self-evaluated using current trends and practices. Fifteen hours of observation required. (fall)
