Early Childhood Special Education Field Experience

Catalog description

Under the direction of a university supervisor and in cooperation with an approved teacher or service provider, teacher candidates engage in a professional experience in a selected inclusive early childhood setting. This experience may be located in a center or home setting or shadowing a service provider (e.g., a speech/language pathologist). Part of this experience includes observing a service coordinator who supports a family of a child with a disability. Field placements include programs for children from birth through age 3. Teacher candidates develop and implement learning activities that address children's specific needs. They also assess children's developmental and early academic progress.
