3 Credit(s)
In this course candidates will realize how children’s learning through play is profoundly affected by the social and physical environment they are in. Candidates will discover ways to assist children in meeting outcomes (set forth by the Ohio Department of Education Office of Early Learning and School Readiness) primarily through play. Candidates will also intentionally design environments that provide children with materials, tools, and challenges that allow children’s development to flourish as candidates devise appropriate plans to scaffold children’s learning. In doing so, candidates identify their role as a facilitator, the children’s role, and the environment’s role as the third teacher. UG
