ECE 271 - Early Childhood Field 1

3 credits

This weekly 9-hour field experience accompanies the course: Observation & Assessment in Early Childhood. The student learns how Early Childhood Practitioners become researchers by systematic observation of children’s behaviors and works in a group setting. Students practice techniques of recording and assessment of a child’s development which culminates in a portfolio and descriptive review of a child.

Notes: Early Childhood A.A.S. and Certificate students may take only one field related course per semester.

For Fall 2021, field classes will be held remotely and in conjunction with placements in schools and childcare centers.
