CHS 298V - Simulated Field Experience II

3 Credits

This course further examines the core body of knowledge and competencies that early childhood professionals must demonstrate to effectively promote all young children's optimal development, learning, and well-being. Students complete a simulated field experience through observation and analysis of videos designed to scaffold their practices. Students will examine fundamental principles for effective family engagement, advancing equity and inclusion, and positive guidance and intervention strategies. Students critique teachers' practices and engage in instructor-guided discussions with classmates. Using evidence-based methods and tools to analyze others' teaching practices will help students learn self-analysis techniques and the value of reflection.

Prerequisites: Minimum of 15 CHS credits, including CHS 199 or CHS 199V .
