Description
This course provides the necessary information and requirements to be successful in the Early Childhood Education program, and more specifically field placements one, two and three. Students will prepare for field placements by scheduling fingerprinting, completing a background check, and discussing other placement requirements. A thorough overview of the National Association for the Education of Young Children’s (NAEYC) Professional Standards and Competencies will guide students through the program expectations and set them up for success with the professional portfolio to be passed in during the third field placement and final semester. Other topics will include mandated reporting, professionalism, and the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct.
