- Professional Learning Community II

Catalog description

Professional learning community courses facilitate the co-construction of candidate knowledge, skills, and dispositions as pre-service early childhood professionals. Candidates collaboratively work to make meaning of courses and field experiences in the current sequence within the plan of study. Using the NAEYC Code of Ethics and ISBE Culturally Responsive Teaching and Leading Standards, students will explore ways in which advocacy can better empower diverse students and communities. PLC II will focus on materials and environments in pre-primary settings that center learning around children’s experiences and positioning them as co-creators, with emphasis on supporting historically marginalized children.
