Corequisites:
Students will complete field practice throughout the semester, in an inclusive early childhood field placement. Students will draw from their knowledge of child development and their insights into individual children to plan, implement and reflect on developmentally appropriate investigations for individuals and the entire group. Students will design environments and emergent curriculum that is inclusive, play-based, meaningful, and responsive to children's interests and ideas. The role of the reflective practitioner as researcher, collaborator, documenter, and supporter of learning will be practiced. Learning experiences that connect children with nature will be planned, implemented, and evaluated. Students must consistently demonstrate skills in professionalism, keeping children safe and healthy, appropriate program planning, facilitation of learning, problem solving, positive behaviour guidance, and effective communication with children, teachers, parents, and other adults.
