Hey Yasmina Nait Slimane
1) what is the common subject for the ECI and ECP from the major concentration section? (Page 7)
The similarities between ECI Major(Birth to 3 years) and ECP Major (Pre-school to 2nd grade), is that both majors require a total of 60 program credits in order to graduate from BMCC. Both majors specify that students must obtain a minimum grade of “c” or better, so that the student can move to the next level (ECE courses).
2)which course is focusing on curriculum for young children in second grade? (page 10)
ECE 211 curriculum for young children 1 and ECE 312 curriculum for young children 2, both cover preschool to second grade level, so the answer to the question would be both ECE courses.
3) what are the parts contain the portfolio? (Page 11)
The eportfolio contains several parts, this includes the fallowing a Personal Profile, a Professional Development Plan, an Academic Portfolio and a Co-Curricular Activities section. The Academic Portfolio section will include evidence of the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that you have gained in the eight major learning areas of the BMCC ECE program.
