ECE 7731:Competence in the Preparation and Presentation of Language Materials

3 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: Admission to Montessori Graduate Certificate program or M.Ed. program.
Students prepare and practice presenting the many materials designed by language specialists for use in offering developmentally appropriate language arts presentations and activities to young children. These materials are not available from Montessori suppliers, so each teacher prepares them for his/her own classroom. Students practice with the materials to develop and refine the skills they need to give language presentations to young children effectively. Students create a portfolio of selected examples of more than 70 language materials that can be duplicated for use in the classrooms where they will be employed.
