Program Details
In the Teaching and Learning in Early Childhood Settings specialization, you will focus on teaching and learning at the preschool level by exploring developmentally appropriate practices. Building upon theories and types of play, you will learn about curriculum, assessment, and instruction to plan and implement units, lessons, and assessments. After completing the coursework in this specialization, you will improve your ability to meet the diverse needs of families and children, including children with special needs and English language learners.
This program offers Tempo Learning™ – a self-paced, competency-based education option for working professionals, meaning that your progress is measured by the mastery or demonstration of skills, abilities, and knowledge in a particular area of study.
Tempo Learning® is priced as an all-you-can-learn model, where students subscribe to 3-month learning periods instead of paying for courses or credit hours.
