ECE 350 Early Childhood Education: Pre-Primary Practicum Field Experience

Candidates apply what they have learned about early childhood practices by identifying effective strategies used to plan, implement, and assess instruction, guide children, and manage classrooms. They demonstrate their professionalism by planning, implementing, and assessing whole group, small group, and individual instruction, under the guidance of a master teacher in a preprimary setting for at least three hours a day for nine weeks. Candidates who have had a previous, supervised preprimary experience must have a portfolio review to determine if this component may be waived, in which case they would register for seminar and complete 25 hours in a preprimary classroom as part of their seminar requirements. Prerequisite(s): Admission to NCE, Completion of EPS 300, ECE 205, ECE 220, LAE 307, ECE 210, TIE 300 ECE 215; current TB test and background check required. Co-requisite(s): ECE 351. 2 quarter hours
