Practicum I: Child

[0.50] credits · Undergraduate

This practicum provides students with a seminar and first supervised experience working in an early childhood education and care setting with children (placements are pre-arranged for students). This course is designed to demonstrate the application of theory studied earlier in the major. It provides the opportunity to work directly with young people while examining such topics as program expectations, licensing and pedagogical requirements, the role of the educator, educator-child interaction, and program implementation. An outstanding pass/pass/fail grade will be assigned upon completion of the course.
