Subject Description | Students will increase their responsibility for an early childhood program and its implementation culminating in three weeks' total responsibility. Skills of observation will include a focus on individual children and group dynamics and plans for these will be incorporated in plans for the whole group. Students will develop curriculum that is responsive to children's needs and interests and that acknowledges gender, cultural, ethnic and developmental disabilities. In this work students will collaborate with other adults within the program and critically reflect with them as students progress. Students will critically reflect on the implementation of the regulations and code of ethics which govern children's services. Students will have the opportunity to extend their understandings of other BECS3 subjects within a practical setting. |
Assessment | 35 days of practicum, and associated written tasks as specified in the BECS 3 Practicum manual. |
