Prerequisite: Completion of all other program requirements; and minimum 2.5 GPA both overall and in the major; formal application required This experience requires a minimum of eight weeks and 200 hours working directly with children in an approved placement, toddler-K. In many cases, the placement is a student's workplace, but rarely a public-school classroom. The student works with an assigned college supervisor and a DEEC licensed, site-based cooperating practitioner, increasingly taking responsibility for managing the classroom, designing learning experiences and communicating with families and administrators. Students develop a performance portfolio documenting their competencies and attend scheduled seminars.
