Early Childhood Education (Advanced Standing) (P-T)

This course will provide the student with an understanding of the accepted theoretical approaches to early childhood development and the current themes that influence and drive child development research today. Students will gain knowledge of normal patterns of growth and development from conception through middle childhood (0-6 years of age). As a result, this course will prepare students with the foundational knowledge required to document, plan, implement and assess developmentally appropriate learning strategies for young children.

This course is an introduction to the study of Indigenous (First Nations, Metis, and Inuit) peoples in Canada. Students will explore the complex historical and contemporary relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. The course will also guide students to begin to understand the diversity and depth of Indigenous societies, worldviews, and knowledge through a multi-disciplinary lens.

This course will provide students with an advanced understanding of children's social and emotional development and it's affect on children's self regulatory behaviour. To support development, students will integrate ECE best practices into their relationships with children, daily curriculum planning and environmental design.

Through active engagement, this course supports student's critical thinking about play and how it connects to learning and development. Reflective planning tools are introduced which capture observations of children's theories and supports students in the presentation of extended opportunities for learning. Students will practice facilitating "Child led" learning experiences based on children's natural curiosity and inquiry.

Students will be taught the guiding principles necessary in preparing them for the task of observing, documenting and making sense of how children demonstrate their own thinking and competence. As students practice skills in reflection, interpretation, and collaboration they will work towards becoming keen observers in understanding how children direct their own learning in an early childhood setting.

This course introduces students to Indigenous ways of knowing through engagement with Indigenous philosophies and worldviews as well as Indigenous intellectual and cultural traditions. Multidisciplinary in nature, the structure of Indigenous Knowledges provides a context for students to identify with and gain respect for their practical and sustainable applications.

All graduates of diploma programs require general education credits. These courses allow you to explore issues of societal concern by looking at the history, theory and contemporary applications of those issues.

Your program has designated some required general education courses. In addition, you have the opportunity to choose from a list of electives each semester.

Many of these courses and some other general education courses are also available through evening classes, by distance education, or on-line. See our Part-Time Studies Calendar for these opportunities.

This will prepare students for their role as an Early Learning Team comprised of a Kindergarten teacher and an ECE.

This course offers a systematic approach to exploring human behaviour. The concepts and empirical findings are examined using a variety of theoretical approaches. Major topics include perception, motivation, learning, memory, intelligence, and personality.

In this multi-modal delivery course, weekly students participate in a 2hr seminar and attend four full days of placement working with children aged 0-12yrs.
