ECE 145 Child, Family, Culture and Nature
This course examines the real-world interconnection of children with their family, their culture, and their experiences of nature within cities and urban settings. The theory and practice of involving children and their families in their local neighborhood environments through learning, play, participation, and environmental care will be explored through a framework in which a child’s development and learning is understood as a cultural process. Students will engage with these core concepts through hands-on learning experiences and active reflection on educational practices. Lecture one hour per week.
