Class Description
This is an advanced course in child development and education. Students increase their knowledge, experience, and job skills at a work-based learning placement. Advanced projects further develop skills. Students will focus on: observation of children and programs; communicating with children, staff, and parents; planning age-appropriate curriculum; and understanding the history, theories, philosophies, and legal aspects of careers related to children.
Work-based learning placement is a required component of the program and students must provide their own transportation. Students in after-school paid work-based learning placements may earn up to five additional credits per high school semester or trimester.
