| EDUC 322 - The Child and 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. Through a study of early reading, writing, literature, and the arts (painting, music, movement, etc.) and children's play, developmentally appropriate teaching practices are taught. Students learn to observe and record the behavior of young children and apply their knowledge of developmental stages and characteristics of young children (ages 3 - 8) with and without special needs to an integrated language arts curriculum. The course includes ways to create a classroom environment, which recognizes the racial, cultural, and linguistic diversity in young children and supports their learning. (Child Development Lab placement one morning or afternoon per week is required). Note: Meets for 6 hours.
