CHS 298 - Practicum II

3 Credits

This course includes discussions, assignments, and a minimum of 100 hours of supervised fieldwork in an approved, self-selected, early childhood setting working with children up to age five. The children must be of a different age group than those used for Practicum I. Students will examine developmental characteristics, early learning standards, effective family engagement principles, and professional ethics. Students will demonstrate knowledge of developmentally appropriate practices and positive guidance and intervention strategies.

This course is an alternative to CHS298V Simulated Field Experience II; students may earn credit for either CHS298 or CHS298V.

Prerequisites: Minimum of 15 CHS credits, a minimum GPA of 2.50, and approval of site and supervision arrangements.
Please note: The requirement for criminal background checks and fingerprinting is at the discretion of the practicum site following local, state, and federal law. Students are responsible for understanding and meeting any such obligations including fees that their site might require.
