This course builds on the theoretical and design principles of Curriculum I. Students critically examine Ontario's early learning curriculum framework as well as traditional and current early childhood pedagogies. Each pedagogy is examined for its approach to the child as a learner, educator practices, family-educator relationships, learning environments and issues of social justice in early childhood settings. Ways in which early childhood pedagogies are evaluated and educators make changes to their practices will be explored.Weekly
