Classroom Curriculum-Plan-Orgn

Catalog description

This course introduces human development across early childhood through adolescence (cognitive, emotional, physical, social, and moral development). Teacher candidates will be empowered to create developmentally appropriate curricula in alignment with New Jersey Core Content Standards. Curricular controversies and current issues in development will be explored and debated to enable candidates to think critically in making enlightened decisions that benefit children and their learning experiences. A school-based field experience in this course will assist candidates to look more deeply into the relationship between the educational environment and the concepts they encounter in their studies.
