To consolidate and extend students’ body of knowledge in early childhood education theory, and develop understanding of the professional educator’s role as a leader and advocate.
Students will describe and reflect on their beliefs about early childhood, their values and their roles as early childhood educators. Students will prepare for successful transition into the professional workforce on graduation by preparing a professional package. Students will also engage in early childhood leadership and advocacy theory and will negotiate, implement and evaluate a site/agency/service-based project.
