Overview |
| |
|
The University of Hawai'i at Mānoa (UHM) offers a 30-credit
program leading to the MEd in early childhood education, a
joint program supported by the College of Education and the
College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources. The program
supports professional development and promotes leadership
in personnel who work in programs with children between infancy
and five-years of age. The program enables students:
- to learn about the developmental and educational needs
of young children and about working with families;
- to gain skills in developing educational programs to meet
the needs of all children including those with disabilities;
- to gain awareness of current issues, trends and research
in early education and assessment;
- to become more reflective in their professional practice,
and
- to become capable of providing ethical leadership in an
early childhood classroom or agency.
All students take a set of common core courses, which address
the topics of regular education, special education, child
development, family policy, professional collaboration and
research. After completing the core requirements, students
select a concentration in teaching or in program administration,
policy and advocacy.
