This course focuses on the planning and implementing of developmentally appropriate curriculum and instructional practices, informed by knowledge of child development, individual differences, program models, and state and national standards. Emphasis will be on models of infant/toddler/preschool education that advocate learning through play, inquiry, cooperation, and creative expression, and that address the needs of children with the full range of abilities and cultural backgrounds. Curricular areas include language and emergent literacy, math, science, social studies, art, music, drama, movement, health, safety, and nutrition. Service learning will be explored. Adult relationships in the care-giving setting, collaborative planning models, and home-school-community relationships will be addressed within the context of appropriate planning. Methods for evaluating children's progress, curricular goals and objectives, and program effectiveness will be addressed. For students in the graduate B-6 program 15 field hours are required. For all other students, 10 field hours are required. Students must obtain fingerprint clearance prior to beginning field experiences.

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 people in classrooms is limited by social distancing requirements, and 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 with proper social distancing following the noted class schedule.

This course is designed to provide academic support during the student teaching semester. Topics are selected by the instructor to complement the student teaching experience. Student teachers come together with colleagues and the instructor to discuss issues that relate to teaching as a profession in general, as well as those that relate to individual classroom situations. This course gives prospective teachers the opportunity to reflect critically on their role in the classroom, to explore alternatives, to consider consequences (intended and unintended) of various classroom actions, and to begin to assume responsibility for their own continuing professional development. Co-requisites: ECE 589 or ECE 590; ECE 593. Open to Saint Rose majors only.
