Emerging Models of Childhood Education Through a DEI Lens

Catalog description

This course surveys approaches in the field of early childhood education from old to new. Students will analyze the major models in the field and examine how those approaches have changed over time as well as how they influence school today. Students will examine models such as Piaget, and Montessori as well as explore new developmental science and research in practice. We will discuss how teaching, curriculum, and school need to be transformed and/or developed to reflect our own emerging understanding of Early Childhood Learning and Education.
