ECE Program Student Learning Outcomes
The underlying foundation for these outcomes is of knowledge of child development and of the multiple interacting factors that influence growth and learning. Through the program, the themes of development, families, communication, diversity and inclusion are addressed.
Upon successful completion of the ED program, students will be able to:
- Plan, implement and evaluate curriculum and learning environments to ensure that they promote health, safety, positive development and learning for all children.
- Use formal and informal observation and assessment tools and methods to appropriately plan for individual children and groups of children, assess their progress, positively influence their development and learning, and communicate effectively with families and with other professionals.
- Communicate appropriately with children and adults from all backgrounds to build respectful, reciprocal relationships; use appropriate guidance practices with children.
- Participate in management of fiscal, educational, physical and human resources in classrooms and programs for young children and their families
- Advocate for children and their families in the classroom and the program; base decisions and actions on ethical and other professional standards; apply knowledge of development and its multiple influences; participate in ongoing, collaborative learning; demonstrate collaboration, critical thinking and reflection.
