Advanced Applications of Teaching and Learning in Early Childhood Classrooms

Catalog description

This course provides Relay students an opportunity to apply the experiences and content knowledge from their previous early childhood coursework to create a culturally responsive, multi-day learning plan in support of problem-based learning. They will learn what problem-based learning is and why it is prioritized as a key approach for equitable instruction in the early childhood classroom. They will use the tenets of backward design to identify key knowledge and skills that will guide the planning and vision for the problem-solving experience. After creating a clear vision of mastery, Relay students will design learning experiences that support language, student reflection, and partnership with families.
