ECED - Early Childhood Courses
ECED 3121 Early Childhood Mathematics Education I
Grades Pre-K, K, 1, 2, 3 (3-0-3)
A primary task of teachers of grades Pre-K - 3 is to lay the experiential, conceptual, and attitudinal foundation for future learning in mathematics by guiding students through a range of inquiry activities. This course will include experiences that engage prospective teachers in active learning that builds on their knowledge, understanding, and ability. The course will focus on mathematics as a conceptual approach enabling children to acquire clear and stable concepts by constructing meanings in the context of physical situations and allows mathematical abstractions to emerge from empirical experiences. The students will be expected to integrate knowledge of mathematics, learning, pedagogy, and students and apply that knowledge to teaching mathematics in grades Pre-K through 3. Prerequisites: Admission to Teacher Development

ECED 3151 Early Childhood Curriculum (3-0-3)
Early childhood education is a diverse field encompassing a broad age-range of the life span, birth through age eight including children with special developmental and learning needs. Early childhood education occurs in diverse settings including public and private schools, centers, and home-based programs, and encompasses many roles in addition to the traditional role of "teacher". Students will be expected to demonstrate a knowledge of theory and practices necessary to plan and implement curriculum for individual children and groups; to systematically develop and conduct assessments of individual children; and to engage in reflection about their practices that result in improved programming for children and also contributes to continuing professional development. Prerequisites: Admission to Teacher Education

ECED 3161 Management and Family Involvement (3-0-3)
The most general goal of Management and Family Involvement is to foster the attitudes, skills, and knowledge necessary for the effective management of good learning environments. "Effective" and "good" imply a view of desirable student/teacher/parent interaction based on the following assumptions (derived from the ASU School of Education Conceptual Framework Principles ):
1) the learner's self-management is a primary goal of management of the learning environment.
2) Active inquiry, collaboration, and supportive interaction are important classroom norms.
3) Reflection and constant teacher self-assessment
