In this course, education professionals focus on strategies and techniques integral to working effectively with adults in the early childhood field in such roles as higher education faculty, community trainers, technical assistance providers, parent educators, coaches, and mentors. Education professionals gain practical experience in planning learning experiences, assessing and modifying instruction, and incorporating technology in teaching geared specifically to the unique strengths and needs of the adult learner. Additionally, they examine the distinctions between teaching in the early childhood field at a community college or university, and they explore ways to provide professional development for early childhood practitioners and support to adults working with young children and families in community settings.
