Creation of developmentally appropriate Education classroom /laboratory



Initiative TitleCreation of developmentally appropriate Education classroom /laboratory
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, RationaleJust as other professional programs have clinics (Dental Hygiene, OT, PT, MT, Nursing, Med Lab), the Education students would benefit from developmentally appropriate classroom clinics. One clinic would be set up as an early education environment, the second modeled after elementary classrooms. Students would be able to put "flesh" on their conceptual and theoretical knowledge through physical presentations in an appropriate environment. Children from Kindercollege, or area elementary schools with whom we have partnerships, could visit during college course time to "test" the projects, products, and methodologies conducted by students. Instructors could teach at certain times in these clinics when appropriate. Such ancillary courses as Foundations of Elementary School Mathematics could schedule use of the classroom clinics to reinforce and give opportunity for student presentations. This "live" method in a classroom clinic would also serve as a vital assessment tool. Ideally, these clinics would be part of an Education suite, designed to include offices, smart classrooms, student lounge, Education Resource Room, all contributing to an essential sense of identity for Education students, while also serving practical purposes.
Consequences of this initiative not being fundedLoss of opportunity for practical application of cognitive material for students. Continued "scattered" locations for various operations of Education Department. Education programs lose cutting edge advantage for marketing, recruitment, retention, academic, support systems, excellence.
