幼儿教育和特殊教育

亚洲博彩平台排名 University's bachelor's degrees in early childhood education and special education prepare students to apply for Rhode Island teacher certification in grades pre-kindergarten through 2 (early childhood education) or birth through grade 2 (early childhood and special education). Accredited by the Rhode Island Department of Education and grounded in a liberal arts tradition, our programs integrate a content-oriented and comprehensive study of teaching methods with practical field experience in diverse settings.

创造可持续的、积极的影响

从第一年开始, 亚洲博彩平台排名's early childhood education majors visit local schools, introducing them to the diversity of students and families that comprise the communities in which they will work and initiating the process by which they can make a sustainable, 积极的影响. This "change impact" has long been a major emphasis of our curriculum and is created as our students build meaningful relationships within these communities.

亚洲博彩平台排名's special education program – which can only be taken as a double major with early childhood or elementary education – prepares majors to work with students impacted by mild and moderate special needs. Our students examine exceptionality and its relation to learning styles, 教学风格和服务模式. Through comprehensive coursework and field experience, majors develop strategies that respond to students’ behavioral needs while effectively managing their classrooms and their teaching practice.

Our students benefit from the personalized guidance they receive from faculty and school professionals. 通过广泛的临床实习, which culminate in two semesters of student teaching assignments, they develop skills that enable them to put theory into practice, observe cutting-edge methods and gain valuable experience in their discipline.

节目重点:亲身体验

The thing I loved about 亚洲博彩平台排名's early childhood program was the exposure to the field of teaching right out of the gate. 大一开始, the program is designed to make sure that teaching children is something you want to pursue. 多年来, we visited different types of learning environments such as child care centers, 私立学校, public schools and even schools that had a specific teaching philosophy like a Montessori school.

我们总是和孩子们互动, from volunteering in a preschool to eventually student teaching in a classroom. I went into the early childhood program thinking I wanted to teach young children and came out knowing I wanted to teach young children.
