This activity will<br>be part of the capstone project, The Toddler Classroom Model, that involves students working<br>in simulated toddler teaching teams to design the curriculum for a toddler classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rationale:<br>ECE 309 is a curriculum course for the students who are interested in working with infants and<br>toddlers. The curriculum for this course focuses on the role that the environment plays in<br>designing curriculum and supporting toddler development. Students visit a variety of toddler<br>classroom environments. This activity is important because it allows the students to<br>creatively tinker with an online tool, work collaboratively and co-construct knowledge from<br>the classroom visits to design a toddler classroom. This activity connects theory and practice<br>by providing students with a simulated experience of designing a classroom; once students<br>are working in the field, they will need to collaboratively design their own classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This artifact works to achieve the guidelines by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Centering creativity- students will be able to experiment, tinker and creatively engage<br>their knowledge of toddler environments using the classroom design tool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cultivating an equity mindset- during the toddler classroom visits students will<br>interrogate the differences in each toddler environment, noticing resources, space, and<br>priorities in each environment (Early Headstart environments, ACS funded toddler<br>classrooms, tuition-based toddler programs). This activity will involve actively<br>addressing these differences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Co-constructing knowledge- students will work together in groups of 3 to design their<br>classroom, they will need to consider the culture, abilities and language of the children<br>and families that could be members of their classroom community.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>NAEYC Standards:<br>NAEYC discourages the use of digital platforms for children under 36 months but it is<br>important that teachers explore and understand and critically analyze the digital platforms<br>available to support work in ECE classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Directions:<br>Working in your Teaching Teams- you will design your toddler classroom \/environment<br>using the Kaplan digital room planner.<br>https:\/\/www.kaplanco.com\/secure\/myKaplan\/planner5d.asp?key=new<br>Please consider all the components that we discussed in class when planning your toddler<br>classroom.
