Early Childhood Education: An Introduction,
provides an essential foundation for prospective
teachers in early childhood (birth-grade 2) and
childhood education (grades 1-6). Students will
explore the historical, philosophical, and
cultural roots of the field while engaging with
contemporary issues shaping education today.
Through critical reflection, collaborative
learning, and exposure to diverse perspectives,
students will begin to develop their own
professional identity, educational philosophy, and
foundational teaching skills. Emphasis will be
placed on equity, inclusion, and the role of
educators as change agents in today's schools.
Observations of children in educational settings
are required, offering students meaningful insight
into real-world classroom environments.
