Introduction to Early Childhood Education*

38-1100

Course provides an overview of early childhood education. Students gain exposure to current issues; career possibilities; and the responsibilities, challenges, and rewards encountered by those who work with young children. Particular attention is given to requirements of working with colleagues, children, and families from different cultural backgrounds and the means by which the arts allow individuals to both gain understanding and the ability to communicate with others. Students write on a weekly basis. Students participate in observations of early childhood programs.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
