CS 720 - Early Childhood Development
Designed for students without initial teaching certification, this course will explore human growth and development from birth through grade 2. Both learning and behavior will be examined within the physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and cultural domains through a variety of theoretical frameworks and contexts. Typical and atypical growth and development will be explored. Students will be provided with the skills to identify factors that contribute to learner diversity. These factors include, but are not limited to, language development, home environments, socioeconomic status, and racial and cultural identity models. Contemporary issues which may affect the development and functioning of young children will also be examined.
3 credits. Intersession or Summer.
This course requires ten hours of fieldwork.
