Description

: Leading an early childhood program requires the abilities necessary to meet demands in at least three main areas of responsibility: management, community-building, and supervision. This foundational course, Part I of a two part series, will focus on management and community-building. Initial considerations will include developing a school vision that will guide all future efforts. Management will include understanding state regulations, adhering to institutional policies, developing budgets, creating schedules, and other tasks that promote a comfortable school climate. Community-building will include building interrelationships among teachers, parents, and children, as well as a communication network with the institutional context and relating to the community at large. Each student will review his/her own current program in order to evaluate success and progress in each of the areas listed above as well as overall institutional health. (New course Spring 2013.)
