VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COLLEGE CREDITS:

A new EPS Subsidized College Coursework application is a NEW requirement for Educators wishing to enroll/register for an EPS College course. We partner with Bridgewater State University  to offer coursework at a cost to the educator of $100.00. The Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) has prioritized Degree Attainment for Educators in the Commonwealth.  In support of the priority, the EPS grant subsidizes college course work that is intentional and supports

  • Educators to earn a certificate, credential and/or degree in ECE or in a related  field, or;
  • Programs to meet staff professional development or education requirements for accreditation or QRIS.

Our college offering will be posted on our website (www.cdedu.us/SEEPP).  To ensure that all educators enrolling in one of the EPS courses meet the intent of the grant, all interested Educators MUST complete the application that will be linked to each flyer. Upon review of the application, Educators will be required speak with our Career Advisor, PRIOR to the application being submitted to the college offering the requested course.  At the time of application, educators MUST pay the $100 fee for the course or the application will not be proceed. This fee will be reimbursed should SEEPP or the college not admit the Educator. 

Priority will be given to educators that are currently working in one of the EPS Region 5 towns. 

You may contact us with any questions at 774-273-1773 as we work to implement this new process. While change is often a bit confusing, we are confident this extra step will ensure the requirements of the grant as well as support Educators in meeting their professional development needs

By completing this application it does not mean you have been accepted into this course.  SEEPP will review your application and you will be contacted by our career advisor.

 ECPK 420 Mentored Program Observation, Birth-K

Course Description:

This course consists of observations in six different Birth-K settings across the mixed delivery system of early childhood education. Students compare their experiences and submit a portfolio analyzing the settings they visit using national early childhood accreditation standards. Course is designated as fulfilling the writing designated in the major (CWRM) core curriculum requirement.

This course is designed so students experience and reflect upon the full range of childcare delivery models, birth through kindergarten.  Some students may have experienced only one type of early childhood setting.  Part of becoming a professional in the field is developing “The Big Picture” and realizing there are many ways to provide quality services for children.  In early education and care programs, students will consult or coordinate with those who have had the child previously, who will have the child next, or who offer specialized services for the child.  We work together, to make sure children and families in our community are served effectively.

 

Course Objectives 

Consistent with the BSU School of Education’s Growth of the Professional Educator model and its three themes of K-12 student learning, effective practice, and collaboration, upon completion of this course the student will:

  1.  Recognize, document, analyze, and evaluate national best practices in early childhood education, in a variety of delivery models, by observing in programs serving diverse children from birth through kindergarten including children with special needs and dual language learners.
  2.  Describe local systems serving children and local resources available to early educators and families.
  3.  Explain local transition services and screening procedures in early childhood programs.
  4.  Observe and critique pedagogical approaches in early childhood settings.
  5.   Recognize and analyze ethical and unethical professional behaviors in early childhood settings.
