EDUC 320 - The Young Child: Emergent Literacy with Field Study II
An introduction to early childhood education with an emphasis on language acquisition and development in young children as well as their social, emotional, and physical development.

The course includes ways to create a classroom environment which recognizes the racial, cultural, and linguistic diversity in young children and supports their learning.
