ECS-501TE: Foundational Studies in Early Childhood and Special Education
This course focuses on the fundamental foundation of the field of early childhood education and early childhood special education. Topics covered include the current models, practices and ethics of teaching, along with philosophical and historical foundations of education. Learners also examine early childhood education and early childhood special education settings. Finally, professional development opportunities and professional preparation requirements in the field of early childhood education are explored.
Early childhood educators help ensure that children receive the attention that they need early in life to promote their success throughout their educational years. These educators may be responsible for documenting learning or behavioral concerns, leading educational activities, communicating with parents and maintaining a safe learning environment for students. Special education teachers in this field teach various subjects to children with a broad range of physical, learning, emotional and mental disabilities by adapting general education lessons to the needs of their students.
