ECE 290 - Work Experience Practicum & Seminar
| Description: | ECE 290 affords the student in the Early Childhood Education program the opportunity to apply the principles learned in other courses to the work situation through employment in or observation of activities necessary for the operation of a child care agency. Employment or observation activities are coordinated with the student's course work. One of the requirements of this course will be a one-hour seminar to be arranged for maximum convenience of the student. Credit is determined at enrollment based on the ratio of five or more hours per week in the employment setting for a regular-length semester for one semester hour of credit. Students planning to enroll in this course must request an application from the Early Childhood Education Professor 30 days or more prior to the first day of registration for the semester during which the student desires to participate in this course. Practicum assignments are allowed in the Richland Learning Child Care Center and any center working on NAEYC accreditation. Each student serving a practicum in a licensed child care center must furnish current proof of a physical examination including a statement of his/her physical and emotional ability to work with children. Credit is determined at enrollment based upon hours per semester in the school setting: 1-15 clock hours = 1.0 credit hour; 16-20 clock hours = 2.0 credit hours; 21+ clock hours = 3.0 credit hours. Due to education-related course observation requirements, this course may be repeated as necessary. |
