| EDUC 376 - Early Childhood Curriculum: Reading, Social Studies and Special Needs |
|
An introduction to three components of early childhood education curriculum. The reading component provides literacy instruction in the early childhood classroom (PreK-2) with emphasis on the foundations of reading development, development of reading comprehension, reading assessment and instruction, and the integration of reading with other language arts and the content areas. The reading component addresses the key elements in a literacy program for early childhood: the role of phonics, word analysis skills and strategies, comprehension skills in both imaginative and informational texts, multiple approaches to reading instruction, and the use of formal and informal methods for assessing reading development. The social studies component includes several major teaching strategies, such as ongoing patterns, guided discovery and learning centers. Emphasis is on how to utilize visual materials in order to understand the needs of children with diverse ethnic backgrounds. The special education component assists students in understanding the classroom teacher's role in supporting inclusion. Tools and techniques are provided for understanding the concepts of integration, addressing all children as "special learners", and supporting both educators and children through collaboration and co-teaming efforts. Students develop skills in preparing, implementing, and evaluating Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Note: Meets for 6 hours.
