Early Childhood Rotation & Seminar 3: Students as Learners

This course will address the individualization, differentiation and personalization of early childhood education, based on current research and theories from developmental psychology and educational psychology. The course is designed to help students understand and respect the diversity of learners, and to learn how to responsively differentiate education for all areas of development (emotional, social, motivational, cognitive, physical, and moral) and for all types of diversity (cultural, linguistic, varying abilities, and disabilities and exceptionalities). Students will spend 75 hours in the field (school and non-school settings) and 37.5 hours in the classroom. Essential knowledge and skills from previous courses and from Rotations 1 and 2 will be revisited and interns' understanding and application of previously introduced content will be enhanced and deepened. All students enrolled in this class must have a valid and unexpired Clearance Report from the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on file with the college advising office.
