In the kindergarten years, the focus is on the instruction of the whole child. Teachers in the early years are faced with the challenge of planning learning opportunities that will help students develop emotionally, socially and academically. This course will build on what you already know about students in the early years and the instructional strategies that are appropriate for this age group. It will ask you to think deeply about developmentally appropriate practice, curriculum, assessment, and classroom management and provide you with the opportunity to complete meaningful tasks that will translate into classroom practice.

Topics in this course include:
– A variety of theories about learning in the early years
– Applying various theories in a classroom setting to improve planning and pedagogy
– The importance of play based and active learning
– The criteria for creating an effective learning environment
– Communicating effectively with parents
– Appropriate assessment strategies
– Lesson planning
