    Description
    This advanced course provides demonstration of developmentally appropriate early childhood program planning and teaching competencies under the supervision of ECE/CD faculty and other qualified early education professionals. Students will utilize practical classroom experiences to make connections between theory and practice, develop professional behaviors, and build a comprehensive understanding of children and families. Reflective practice will be emphasized as student teachers design, implement, and evaluate approaches, strategies, and techniques that promote development and learning. Exploration of career pathways, professional development, and teacher responsibilities are explored. Prior to beginning lab placements, students will show proof of TB clearance and required immunizations. Fingerprinting clearance is required for some lab placements.
