3 credits · Graduate

This course is the second in a two-course sequence, EDUC 336A and EDUC336B. These two courses provide a foundation in core tenets of the early childhood field. EDUC 336B focuses on applied community-engaged research, translating complex early childhood systems knowledge into accessible, actionable tools for real communities across the United States. The central project of the term is a partnership with community leaders to conduct research on community early childhood systems. Student teams use a structured methodology including desk review, stakeholder interviews, and community verification to produce five evidence-based infographic fact sheets covering key sectors of the early childhood ecosystem.
