Students will be placed in two diverse and varied settings serving young children and families. Students will complete lessons, units, and other required assignments throughout their practicum/student teacher placement. Individual conferences, reports, projects and seminar sessions are also integral parts of this course. Petitioned approval by ECE Program Coordinator is required for enrollment into the course.
