Description

The main focus of the course is to educate and prepare the early-care and education provider/teacher in developing partnerships with parents and family through developmental collaborations. Family-centered philosophy and practice will be used to develop strong partnerships between the program and home environments. The family status and stress will be explored and its implications for educators to prepare for home visits. Working with families from diverse cultures and the teacher’s attitudes toward those diversities will be addressed. Working with children with special needs and their families along with the challenges and concerns will also be explored. NOTE: Assigned artifacts reflecting the core competencies will be collected for the capstone course.
