EDU 1130 - Jumpstart I: Developing Literacy, Language, and Social Emotional Skills

Credits: 2

This course provides background information about preschoolers’ development, especially language, literacy, and social-emotional development. This course provides specific help to Jumpstart Corps members in supporting their partner children. In weekly seminars, we will explore reading techniques, diverse learners, learning through play and the role of early education in preparing children for success in school. Students will deepen their understanding around early language and literacy development and explore social justice issues facing the community they are serving in. The assignments for this course will be directly related to students’ fieldwork experiences.
When Offered: Every Fall
