PRESCHOOL STUDENT TEACHING (ELR)

Catalog description

(Equivalent to ECED 20192 ) This course provides students the opportunity to apply the content and pedagogy they have learned during the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) program as it related to early childhood education. Students will spend a minimum of 180 hours at an approved preschool program under the supervision of a program faculty member or supervising teacher. Students must successfully complete their field experience and related course assignments in order to continue on to the advanced studies portion of the BSE/ECED program. Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification (BCII) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) background checks are required with the results being submitted to authorized personnel at their field site before beginning their field experience in which student teaching will take place. Some preschool field sites may require additional trainings.
