EC 205 - Adv Child Development Studies

Institution:

Carlow University

Subject:

Early Childhood

Description:

This course provides an in-depth learning experience in child development theory and best practices that apply to the care and education of children from birth to five years of age. This course is designed for transfer students who enter Carlow with child development courses. This course is meant to introduce students to the Carlow's academic learning community and build upon the developmental foundation students have achieved at their previous education institution. Advanced assessment and observation techniques are carefully aligned with curriculum and program planning so students may see the strong connection between assessment and curricular practices. Principles of physical, social-emotional, cognitive, moral, aesthetic, and language development will be covered within the context of family and community. Students will examine issues relating to the development of children, ages three to five years, from an historical, cultural and family perspective as well as through current theories and research. As a stage of development, early childhood will be studied and analyzed across the full range of normative, non-normative, inter-and intravariability for all young children. Students refine basic skills of observation. Students will be required to apply theory to daily practice
