Students spend time in early learning settings practicing and developing teaching skills, planning/implementing/evaluating children’s activities and participating in curriculum planning. Students will observe children using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ). Students will schedule and conduct family conferences with their on-site supervisor to practice skills in communicating with families.
