ECD 290 - Pre K Practicum

Min Credits: 3

This is the capstone field experience of the Pre-Kindergarten associate degree program referred to as student teaching. Planning and carrying out specific teaching experiences requires participation in an early childhood learning program. Principles are assimilated through practical experiences with an established group of 3-5 year old children and a mentor teacher. All students complete a 200 hour placement in a Pre-Kindergarten classroom for the semester. To be recommended for the ODE Pre-Kindergarten Associate License, students must achieve a grade of B or higher, meet passing score of state of Ohio required assessment, and demonstrate that any remaining coursework in the degree program can be completed within 6 months of completing ECD 290.
