    Description
    This advanced practicum provides supervised field experience in an early childhood education program where the student is employed a minimum of 30 hours per week. Students must be participating staff in a classroom for young children. Students will participate in weekly lectures, assignments, discussion, and implement these into their worksite classrooms. Students will plan and implement long-term curriculum projects with young children, applying their skills in observation, assessment, documentation, and interpretation of children's work. There is a deep examination of how young children construct knowledge in literacy, math, science, and how teachers develop curriculum. Students will develop and supervise the overall setting of their worksite classroom for learning and demonstrate skill in guiding children's behavior, managing groups, and building relationships with children and families. Students will evaluate worksite classrooms as to their accessibility and appropriateness for children with differing abilities and multiple languages and cultures.
