This course introduces students to pedagogical frameworks and policies for working with children and families in early learning settings. Students will practice using these pedagogical frameworks, policies, and observations made during a 6-day job shadow to develop mock program plans. Through seminar discussions and job shadowing in an early learning setting, students will be provided an opportunity to understand the professional regulations and mandates of the College of Early Childhood Educators. Students will also familiarize themselves with the field practicum expectations that will be required of them throughout their four years of practice. A pass/fail grade will be assigned upon completion of the course
