Emphasizes how young children learn within a developmentally appropriate setting. Students will use a Universal Design for Learning approach in designing a culturally responsive and inclusive curriculum in alignment with the Massachusetts Guidelines for Preschool and Kindergarten Learning Experiences and the MA Frameworks. Students will learn how to use authentic, observation-based assessments and documentation to develop intentional and informed curricular decisions. Curricular content areas will include Language and Literacy, Social/Emotional Learning, Science, Math, Blocks, The Arts, and Dramatic Play. These concepts will be applied in a hands on experience that will include the application of knowledge of development to the creation of written lesson plans, student made materials, and play based, child centered learning experiences.
