*INT 2860: Professional Field Experience Addendum: CCV/UVM Early Childhood
Rationale: When designed according to these guidelines, INT 2860, may transfer to UVM as equivalent to either EDEC 2090 Infant/Toddler Practicum or EDEC 2490: Preschool Practicum, toward graduation from the University of Vermont with a B.S.Ed. in Early Childhood Education and recommendation for Vermont state licensure and endorsement to work with children birth-grade three.
Field Experience Guidelines:
- Students must be placed in a classroom setting inclusive of children (birth-age 3 or ages 3-5) who, preferably, are culturally and linguistically diverse and may be experiencing developmental delay or disability.
- Students should be assigned a mentor teacher who has a teaching license and endorsement in Early Childhood Education.
- Students must accrue a minimum of 80 hours of field work in their field placement and schedule their hours to be in the classroom at the same time as their mentor teacher. (Students should not be counted in classroom ratios and should be supported to learn from their mentor’s modeling in context.)
- Students should identify a weekly time to reflect and exchange feedback with their mentor teacher (30 minutes recommended).
Field Experience Objectives and Outcomes:
- Students will establish respectful, reciprocal, and responsive relationships with children, families, and teachers (NAEYC Initial Licensure Standards 1a,b,c; 2b,c; 4a) in their classroom setting.
- Students will use developmental knowledge to foster healthy, respectful, inclusive, supportive, and appropriately challenging learning environments for young children (NAEYC Initial Licensure Standards 1c, 4a,b,c, 5c).
- Students will consider the role of family, culture, and context in the development of young children and issues of diversity and inclusionary practice in the classroom (NAEYC Initial Licensure Standards 1b; 2a; 4a,d).
- Students will demonstrate skills related to professionalism, such as accountability, affect/disposition, communication and upholding ethical standards (NAEYC Initial Licensure Standards 4a,d; 6a,b).
- Students will observe, record, and analyze young children's efforts to co-construct and represent socio-moral, physical, and logico-mathematical knowledge in a group setting; (NAEYC Initial Licensure Standards 1a; 3b,c; 4b,c).
- Students will practice a range of intentional teaching strategies in supporting children’s inclusion, pro-social behaviors, and construction of knowledge, in all domains of learning and development (NAEYC Initial Licensure Standards 1a,b,c; 3a; 4a,b,c,d; 5c).
- Students will develop and implement thoughtful, interest-based curricular plans that promote children’s development and learning across domains and content areas and link appropriately to the Vermont Early Learning Standards (VELS) and social justice frameworks, such as Anti-Bias Curriculum and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) (NAEYC Initial Licensure Standards 1a,b,c; 3a; 4a,b,c,d; 5c).
- Students will develop the ability to work effectively with children one-on-one, in small groups and in large groups. (NAEYC Initial Licensure Standard 4a,b,c,d).
- Students will contribute as an active and collaborative member of a pedagogical team, including planning meaningful, play-based curriculum with learning objectives linked to the VELS and social justice frameworks, such as Anti-Bias Curriculum and UDL (NAEYC Initial Licensure Standards 1c; 3b,d; 4b,c,d; 5c; 6c,d).
- Students will develop an understanding of the goals, benefits and various approaches to assessment and the role of technology in this process (NAEYC Initial Licensure Standards 3a,b; 4b)
