Seminar Practicum I: Infants & Toddlers

Catalog description

This course is an integral part of the ECDE program and includes both a seminar and practicum experience. The course includes integration of theory and practice, with focus on observing and recording children's play and interactions, basic principles of guidance, and application of knowledge. Students observe and directly interact with young children. Students plan developmentally appropriate activities for young children that will be implemented in the classroom placement. Students are observed in the classroom setting three times during the semester by an assigned ECDE faculty member. Successful completion with a "C" or better is required as a prerequisite to the next seminar practicum experience in the series.
