EDUC 1013 - Making Connections: The Well-Being of Children (2 credits)

Children's overall well-being is related not only to their health and safety but also to quality relationships among early childhood professionals, family, and community members. In this course, education professionals examine themes, issues, and challenges related to the fostering of children's overall well-being. They make connections between key topics and their own personal experiences, interests, and aspirations; other coursework; current research; real-world early childhood settings; and future trends, developments, and possibilities related to healthy growth and development within early childhood, family, and community settings. Additionally, education professionals assess and discuss resources in the area of early childhood education to further their professional development.
