EDEC 340 - A Practicing Inclusion in Preschool Programs

3 Credit(s)

This course has been specifically developed for students who teach preschoolers in early childhood settings that may include young children with disabilities or development delays. Through course assignments and application of practices in current early childhood settings, students synthesize the broad base knowledge and skills around inclusion into core principles that will serve as a guide in their roles directly with young children and as advocates and leaders in the field of inclusion. The knowledge and skills they develop during course activities strengthen their ability to support the growth and development of each and every child in their program or group. Students will apply core inclusion principles and strategies to current teaching practices with young children in an active early childhood setting. Students will regularly participate in lab work in an early childhood program. 45 hours of lab required.
