This course is intended for students anticipating a career in education through a series of guided observations in diverse early childhood and elementary classrooms, designed to support the students’ introduction to differing aspects of teaching these age groups. This should be the first course taken as a beginning student of teaching in order to learn about children from preschool through upper elementary. There will be a minimum of 20 hours of observations supported by class time on campus to prepare for and then discuss observations. (1) The observations will be arranged by the instructor. (2) Transportation to and from observations is the responsibility of all students. (3) Students are required to complete and submit a physical examination form within four weeks of the beginning of the semester.
Notes: This should be taken in the student’s first semester.
