TECA-1303 — Family and Community
A study of the child, family, community, and schools, including parent education and involvement, family and community lifestyles, child abuse, and current family life issues. Course content must be aligned as applicable with State Board for Educator Certification Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities standards and coincide with the National Association for the Education of Young Children position statement related to developmentally appropriate practices for children from birth through age eight. Requires students to participate in field experiences with children from infancy through age 12 in a variety of settings with varied and diverse populations. The course includes a minimum of 16 hours of field experiences. In order to complete the required field experience hours in P-12 classrooms, students must present a valid United States government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license or state-issued ID) to the partnering school district. Students who are unable to obtain this documentation should consult with their instructor or coordinator/college contact as early as possible to discuss potential alternatives or accommodations.
