CIEC 2100 The Early Childhood Classroom Environment


This course focuses on preparing and maintaining the early childhood learning environment in various settings from preschool through third grade. Arranging space and materials, scheduling, and organization of time within the context of developmentally appropriate curriculum are the components of the classroom climate. Students explore ways in which to insure that the environment reflects and supports the child’s home environment, diversity, special needs, constructivism, cooperative learning, emergent literacy, play, and various learning styles. Additionally, students examine formal and informal tools for observing, assessing, and evaluating learning in early childhood settings.
