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 M-F 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 during the semester. An application process to determine eligibility and placement(s) must be completed in the semester prior to placement. To be recommended for the ODE Pre-Kindergarten Associate License, students must achieve a grade of C 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 ECD290.
