Around Campus - Investigations in Science & Social Studies in Early Childhood Education

Posted by Andy Cunningham on March 27, 2024 at 2:45 PM

After reading A River Ran wild by Lynne Cherry which is about the Nashua River rivershed, School of Education Department Chair Lyndsey Benharris  brought the students in her Investigations in Science & Social Studies in Early Childhood Education course to a section of the Nashua River that runs by campus. Students were tasked with colleting samples that will later be studied. This course emphasizes best teaching practices and high-quality materials used to engage young learners during science and social studies instruction. Learning theory and consideration for diversity and interests of children are a focus of the course. Candidates will learn how to promote an inquiry-based learning environment while employing strategies to integrate content and assist learners in social-emotional competencies. Candidates in the Early Childhood (PreK-2) initial licensure program are advised to register for Field Experience II in Early Childhood Education.
