EDCI 62112 Developmental Foundations

This field experience-based course introduces students to methods of observation and "noticing" of developmental constructs in educational settings. Through intentionally designed field work and guided discussion, students will learn to interpret their observations and "noticings" from the lens of developmental and learning theories. Emphasis is placed on facilitating professional growth by acknowledging and reinforcing the importance of developmental foundations in educational goal-setting, developing an awareness of bias and assumptions in interpreting data, and the need to engage in culturally responsive practice. This course requires 10 hours of field work in placements assigned/approved by the instructor. Corequisites: EDCI 62111 and EDCI 62113.
