CHD 204: Methods and Materials for Teaching Children

This course introduces basic methods and materials used in teaching young children. Emphasis is placed on students compiling a professional resource file of activities used for teaching math, language arts, science, and social studies concepts. Upon completion, students will be able to demonstrate basic methods of creating learning experiences using developmentally appropriate techniques, materials, and realistic expectations, including infant, toddler, and preschool. The course includes observations of young children in a variety of childcare environments. Note: CGM must teach this as a 2-1-3 configuration of theory/lab hours. This is a CORE course.
