Advanced Inclusive Practices in Early Childhood Education

Catalog description

This course focuses on the role of ECSE professionals in inclusive preschool programs, including the role of ECE and ECSE teachers in supporting tiered models in general education, and the development, implementation, and evaluation of individualized education plans. In addition, these personnel are called upon to provide services that are interdisciplinary, multicultural, family-centered, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate, and that prove effective regardless of family circumstances. Students will gain experience in developing strategies for meeting the educational and developmental needs of preschoolers who experience circumstances and conditions that potentially interfere with optimal growth and development.
