EDUC 1265 — Child Growth and Development: Early Childhood Education
Child Growth and Development: Early Childhood Education provides an overview of typical and atypical child development from prenatal to school age including physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development. It integrates theory with appropriate practice in a variety of early childhood settings. Students learn how to design and use developmentally appropriate language and cognitive-growth activities, including how to encourage curiosity, exploration and problem-solving; to develop sensory and story-telling skills; how to teach concepts such as time, shape and quantity, how to provide opportunities to organize and group materials; and to verbalize their experiences.
