ECE210M : Child, Family and Community Relations
This course will focus on how children develop within the context of their family, school/center, community and society, with a special emphasis on Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory. In addition to theoretical, students will study the cultural and generational perspectives, as well as a variety of other influences on the child and family. Through the use of evidence-based practices, students will focus on the benefits, barriers and strategies to partner with and engage families in their child’s education. Emphasis will be on the development of advocacy skills as students learn about community resources and family needs. A community service project will be required. Students are required to purchase a TASKSREAM electronic portfolio subscription. Prerequisites: ECE100M, ECE104M.
