EARLY CHILDHOOD PRACTICUM WITH STUDENT WITH AND WITHOUT DISABILITIES

Candidates will complete 20+ days of practicum with children who are in pre-K and kindergarten. As part of practicum, candidates will complete developmental and observational assessments, will design and implement a series of instructional activities targeting skills based on the results of assessment, and will develop and use formative assessment to adjust instruction as necessary. During supervision, candidates will demonstrate fluency in use of play, naturalistic language interventions, and social skill development whether students use spoken language or AAC. Candidates will also give evidence of communicating with colleagues and parents on a regular basis, including communication regarding development of and/or progress toward IFSP/IEP goals as relevant. All of these components will also be addressed in bi-weekly seminars.
