Teacher candidates will use and apply knowledge that stems from the previous child development and learning courses to understand how young school age children, including typical and atypical children, grow and learn from kindergarten through third grade. Teacher candidates will be able to apply theories of childhood development in the classroom with direct implications for teaching and learning. Teacher candidates will also be able to use developmentally appropriate practice as a foundation for planning and making decisions in inclusive primary education settings. Clinical classroom visits are required. This course is offered in the spring semester only.
