ECE 2950 - Developmentally Effective Practice (DEP) I: The Intentional Preschool Teacher



Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): ECE 2100

Description: Principles underlying curriculum development and program planning to promote social competence in young children are the focus of this course. Course content includes knowledge of the three core requirements of developmentally effective practice: knowledge of child development, observation of individual children, and an awareness of socio-cultural influences. Students in this class will begin to organize and assemble a professional portfolio. Students will participate in a 45-hour, supervised practicum divided between two different early childhood settings and age groups (birth-age 3 and age 3-5). Students will conduct guided observations that focus on teacher behaviors and decision-making, intentional teaching, curriculum development and program planning to promote social competence in young children.
