ECED 551 Child Development and Critical Perspectives in Inclusive Early Childhood Education
Critically examine theories of development and their application to young children with differing and emerging abilities, contexts, and identities. Unpack the dominant narratives regarding child development and explore counter narratives and alternative perspectives regarding learning and development across culture. Explore differing domains of development (cognitive, social-emotional, etc.) in the early childhood years with a focus on the implications for educational practice guided by equity and a strong and complex image of the child.
