After reading through the ECE Programs, please find your E.C. Program Group.

You can find it by going to “People” on the left-hand side of our Canvas page and then finding the group tab at the top (Early Childhood Program GROUPS). Each program that you read about will be listed and you should find your name in one of the groups. The title of your group is the program you’re researching. 

 

 

FIRST (BY Wednesday, March 2nd): Post your replies to the questions below in your group’s discussion. (Just reply to this discussion – you only have permission to see your group’s posts here).  Read your group member’s posts. Did they find something different than you did? Were your replies similar? Do you have questions for them? 

  • What is your program about – philosophy/curriculum?
  • Why would we want to send our children to this program?
  • Why would someone want to teach in this program?
  • What is unique about the environment? 
  • What are the materials used?
  • What is the family piece (how are families incorporated into the program)?
  • Can you connect this program to any of the early philosophers? (Plato, Pestaluzzi, Locke, Rousseau, etc.?)

 

SECOND (DUE SUNDAY,  March 6th): Combine your replies (editing out anything that’s repetitive) and post them to the ECE Programs Discussion Part 2. This should be a collaboration. One person should not do all of it – but one person can volunteer to cut and paste the final post. Please reply to your group in a timely manner.

 

THIRD (DUE WEDNESDAY, March 9th): After the responses are posted, you will read through all of the other groups’ responses and ask at least two questions to each group. 

 

FOURTH (DUE WEDNESDAY, March 9th): Answer the questions asked of your group. Take turns, if you’ve answered several, let others jump in. If you haven’t answered any, take over.
