This course is designed to increase the exposure of students to the joys and responsibilities of working with young children in a variety of roles and capacities. Integral parts of the course are observing and interacting with children in an early elementary class setting. Students will plan developmentally appropriate projects for all areas of the curriculum. These projects will then be turned into a portfolio that will reflect the student's own career interests and understanding of early childhood and elementary level learning.

Career readiness practices will be integrated throughout the course.
