Material Detail

This course includes a textbook and companion workbook designed to support early childhood education students enrolled in a supervised field experience practicum. It emphasizes reflective practice, ethical professionalism, and the integration of theory with real-world classroom experience.

Students engage in guided observations, lesson planning, documentation, and self-reflection while working alongside mentor teachers in early learning settings. The course is grounded in developmentally appropriate practice and professional standards for early childhood educators.

Modules include structured assignments, reflection prompts, lesson plan development, observation tools, and documentation activities that support students in connecting coursework to practice. Attention is given to professionalism, confidentiality, collaboration with practicum sites, and ethical responsibilities in field-based learning.

This course is designed for associate degree–level ECE programs and is well suited for adaptation across a variety of practicum models and early childhood settings. Access is provided through Canvas Commons.
