ECE 273 - Early Childhood Field 2

3 credits

This 120-hour field experience accompanies the course ECE 272 - Infant/Toddler Environments. Working alongside mentor teachers, students participate in professional development opportunities and apply theory, standards, regulations, and practices to guide their actions in the field setting. Students develop and deepen connections with the children’s families. They observe and document children’s interests and discoveries in order to understand children’s thinking and prepare materials that support development.

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