Early Childhood Curriculum (EDU 233) is a comprehensive course that addresses all aspects of teaching to young children. Students will explore approaches for educating students, ages infant through age 8, with focus on infant/toddler, preschool, pre-kindergarten, and kindergarten students. Throughout the course, students will be engaged in lesson planning for individual, small, and large group activities, as well as thematic and student lead units. Students will be exposed to various approaches to curriculum with an emphasis on curiosity and play. Students will be expected to create and implement appropriate curricular strategies in an early childhood program. This course must be taken concurrently with EDU 250 (Student Teaching).
