Students are presented with the developmentally appropriate theory that grounds curriculum and interactions in high quality early childhood education classrooms and asked to integrate and apply it into their daily practice. Topics include the teacher's role in the development of curriculum based on observation and assessment of the individual needs of the children in the program. The teacher's role in guidance and the development of social competence in children is emphasized. Enrollment in this supervised field experience course is limited to students working in an early care and education setting 30 or more hours per week.
