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 focus on methods for planning and implementing developmentally meaningful curricula for young children in accordance with state and national standards, informed by knowledge of child growth and development. Long-range and short-term models of planning for students with a variety of learning needs, including students who are not native English speakers and students with disabilities, will be a focus. Performance-based, continuous progress monitoring, and formal, standardized assessment and analysis of data produced through the assessments will be an integral part of the focus on planning instruction. Models of curriculum, instruction and assessment appropriate for pupils' individual needs, developmental levels, and interests will be studied including co-teaching and multi-tiered systems of support. Students will integrate all major content areas (language arts, science, math, social studies) and the humanities (art, literature, music, drama) in curricular and instructional planning. Students will develop plans for appropriate learning environments designed to support the growth of the child in all domains and develop further knowledge of the role of Individualized Education Plans. Students will be introduced to the use of positive behavior interventions and supports as they relate to instruction. Prerequisites: IEC 230, IEC 146, EPY 245, CSD 235.
