ECE 4370 - Developmentally Effective Practice III: Content Area Instruction (K-3)

Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): ECE 3150

Description: In this course, students use state and national standards, technology, and available resources to develop a sequenced, cohesive, and developmentally effective learning segment integrating content areas of the K-3rd grade curriculum. Classroom management and organization considerations, appropriate use of technology, varied assessments, and considerations for children’s diverse needs will be examined and integrated into the learning segment plan. Developmentally effective teaching strategies will be analyzed for implementation appropriate to the context of each lesson. Social studies and science content areas will provide the foundational theme of the learning segment. This course includes a 45-hour practicum in a designated early primary (K-3rd grade) classroom under the supervision of a cooperating teacher and a university supervisor.
