Reflective Supervision: Infant and Toddler

Catalog description

This course provides an in-depth experience with reflective supervision, a critical component of working with young children. Taken in conjunction with ECD 130P Practicum: Infant and Toddler, students engage in extensive and ongoing written and oral reflection activities related to their practicum experiences. Students examine their own life experiences, attitudes, biases, interactions and problem-solving strategies as they develop the skills of self-awareness and responsive action. Group and individual coaching are included. Students are also guided in the preparation of their application for the Pennsylvania Family Associate in Infant Mental Health Endorsement (IMH-E®). Students must have three current clearances: FBI Fingerprint Clearance, a Pennsylvania State Police Criminal History Clearance, and a Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare Child Abuse History Clearance and meet the local requirements of the field placement site, including the National Sex Offender Registry (NSOR) Verification Clearance. Co-registration in an infant/toddler practicum is required, based on the student’s course of study.
