Laboratory in Early Childhood without the “Lab”
Hannah Minter Anderson
Description
HDE140L: “Laboratory in Early Childhood” is one of the few practicum courses required for Human Development majors and was the only one offered during the 2020-2021 school year. This presentation will review how the typical in-person practicum course was adapted to an online format. Unique applied writing assignments tailored to a variety of career goals were developed to increase student engagement and application of course content to real-world scenarios. Presenter will share successes from online adaptation and plans for transitioning back into in-person class.
