Course description
This course introduces the concepts of relationship-building and play as the cornerstones of curriculum and pedagogy. Through the lens of holistic development and inclusive early learning, students will examine their image of the child and describe the elements of meaningful curriculum and pedagogy. They will discuss the importance of relationships and play to children’s learning and development and identify the role of the educator in supporting learning. Using an understanding of holistic development, students will practice emerging skills in observation, reflection, and documentation as the basis for planning constructivist-inspired curriculum.
