    Description
    Under guided supervision in a Rancho Santiago Community College District (RSCCD) Child Development Center or approved mentor site, 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 and strategies, and techniques that promote development and learning. Field trips and field-based assignments required. A negative TB test result and state-mandated immunizations are required for certificate completion.
