Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis course applies child development principles to the planning of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) experiences for both typically and atypically developing young children. Emphasis is placed on understanding how children develop problem-solving skills and on recognizing how teachers can facilitate inquiry-discovery experiences for young children with diverse learning styles and needs. Course work includes designing, planning for, participation in, and assessment of STEM challenges. These are created through classroom design, material selection, and learning to build upon a child’s natural curiosity.
