Corequisites:
Field placement gives students the opportunity to practice what they have learned in the ECE program. Students will plan, implement, and evaluate play-based, inclusive, emergent curriculum experiences for preschool children. The early childhood educator's role as facilitator will be studied and practiced. Inclusive child guidance techniques will be utilized that support, nurture, and respect children's individuality. Based on observation of children, students will develop skills in planning, implementing, and evaluating programming that meets the needs of individuals and small groups of children and which are safe, diverse, and developmentally appropriate. In addition, time is spent reflecting and examining issues related to the field placement experience.
