Course Delivery DEFINITIONS:
- Online Courses: In online teaching, 100% of instruction takes place online via Canvas and with supplemental platforms like Zoom. There are two types of online courses: asynchronous and synchronous.
- Asynchronous online: Course is fully online, with lessons, assignments, and activities posted in Canvas with due dates. Students complete coursework, engage in discussions, etc., based upon their own schedules, but are required to meet posted deadlines.
- Synchronous online: Online course that includes real-time class meetings using technology (e.g. Zoom). The number of required meetings varies based upon the particular class, but meetings take place during the scheduled class times. Faculty will inform students of the schedule for real-time meetings in their courses.
- Hybrid Courses: Hybrid courses combine both in-person, on-campus meetings with online instruction. All face-to-face activities take place during the regularly-scheduled meeting times in the rooms assigned on the course listing. The number of in-person meetings varies by course. Faculty will notify students of the exact meeting schedule for their courses.
If your class is not listed as online or hybrid, it will meet fully face-to-face following the noted class schedule.

This course will address the continuum of typical and atypical language and literacy development of children birth to age five. Appropriate expectations for speech and language development, which include phonological, semantic, syntactic, morphemic, and pragmatic knowledge will be addressed. Developmental disorders that impact language and literacy will be presented. Augmentative and alternative communications (AAC) systems will be discussed. Stages of foundational literacy skills for young children including print concepts, phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing will be discussed. Language and literacy development will be examined for monolingual and multilingual learners. Emphasis will focus on how early childhood and childhood professionals can create learning environments that foster language and literacy learning in accordance with state and national guidelines and standards.
