Early Childhood Education Course Requirements

1. Attendance Policy: All students are expected to be in attendance every day. Work that is missed can rarely be made up. Each class is equivalent to 3 days of a regular class. If a student must be absent from BOCES, a phone call must be made prior to class to one of the following extensions at 716-731-6800, ext. 4500 (early childhood classroom), or 4509 (attendance office). Please leave a voice mail message with your name, instructor and date of absence if you call after school hours or there is no answer. Students are expected to bring in an excuse for days missed following the day of an absence even if the absence was called in. Students are responsible for all lessons and assignments that are missed due to absence.

2. Uniform and Appropriate Attire: The early childhood education required uniform consists of a navy blue cobbler apron and name tag that is purchased in class ($27.00). Students must be prepared to wear their uniform on every preschool day. Appropriate attire is required with the uniform as well as on all non-preschool days. Appropriate attire includes a neat shirt with sleeves (no crop-tops or tank tops/camis), pants or jeans, and rubber-soled shoes (sneakers are best). The following items are inappropriate for preschool ? platform, chunky or open-toed shoes; shoes without backs on them (no slip-ons); dangling or excessive jewelry; facial piercings, visible body piercings and/or tongue rings; visible tattoos, hats, chains, baggy pants, shorts, pants with words on them, short skirts/dresses, etc.

3. Supplies and Program Costs: Students are responsible for replenishing and/or replacing supplies as they are used or lost. All supplies should be labeled with student's first and last name. Students MUST be prepared with all materials and supplies each class day.

4. New York State Office of Child & Family Services Licensing Paperwork: The New York State Office of Child and Family Services very closely regulates the rules and procedures for child care centers. For this reason, the Early Childhood Education program must require the following items from all students before they will be able to work in the day care: OCFS Clearance Form, fingerprints/criminal history check, job application and physical form (with results of Mantoux tuberculin test). All items will be able to be completed at BOCES during regular class time with the exception of the physical form. This must be completed by the student's physician. Physical forms can be brought to school by students or can be mailed directly to BOCES. Student WILL NOT be permitted to work with children until ALL paperwork has been turned in!

5. Niagara Preschool Learning Center: Student will participate in the preschool on every day assigned to that student. The Niagara Preschool Learning Center operates Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings 8:30 a.m. ? 10:45 a.m. and Tuesday and Thursday afternoons 12:25 p.m. ? 2:35 p.m. Students work in cooperative groups and rotate through a schedule that permits opportunities to teach preschool children, conduct observations, work with parents and families, and prepare snack. It is the student's responsibility to check the schedule for all practical assignments.

6. Confidentiality: Personal happenings about children and their families may be shared with students by the instructor, preschool supervisor, day care director or preschool parents themselves. This information must remain in the classroom. It is inappropriate and unprofessional to discuss specific children and their families outside of our learning environment.

7. Skills USA classroom competition: ALL students are required to participate in the early childhood education classroom competition whether they are a member of SkillsUSA or not. Students are required to research an activity based on a theme and center area of the preschool. They will then type a lesson plan, prepare the activity and conduct the lesson in preschool with the preschool children.

8. Shadowing/Field Experience: Every student is required to complete 2 weeks of shadowing experience. To be eligible for shadowing/field experience, students must meet the following basic minimum requirements: Maintain an average of 80% or better No disciplinary issues at BOCES and/or home school.

Student is responsible for their own transportation.

9. Field Trips: Every student is expected to attend ALL field trips that occur 1 ? 3 times per year. Students who are failing the current marking period or for the year to date will not be permitted to go on the field trip. Students with disciplinary issues at BOCES and/or their home school will also not be permitted to attend the field trip. This includes ALC, ISS, ISR, or suspension for any reason.

10. Professional Development: Early Childhood Education students are required to participate in several professional development workshops, seminars or trainings regardless of previous training. These experiences are conducted either online or by highly trained professionals and are the same trainings that actual teachers receive. Trainings may include, but not limited to, "Disabilities Awareness Training," "Identification and Reporting of Child Abuse for the Mandated Reporter," and "Red Cross Adult CPR/Infant & Child CPR and Standard First Aid" [note: there is a $27.00 charge for the Red Cross training]. All students are required to have a personal email that they are able to access (free email is available through , , etc.) to register for the online training requirements.

11. Community Service: Early childhood education students are required to complete 10 hours of community service each year in the program. Students may meet this requirement by volunteering at any of a variety of community-based organizations and/or charities that benefit children and families. All community service must be approved by the instructor prior to participation. Student must complete the necessary paperwork (community service form) and provide documentation indicating completion of service and the number of hours obtained.

12. Behavioral Review: Exemplary behavior is expected of students in the Early Childhood Education program every day and whether young children are present or not. As student teachers participating in a working preschool program and shadowing/field experience in a licensed child care center or elementary school classroom as required by the course requirements, any inappropriate behavior while at BOCES or outside of BOCES (at their home high school, in the community, etc.) may be reviewed by the instructor and BOCES administration and placement in the early childhood program may be terminated immediately as a result.

13. Professional Portfolio: Each student will develop a professional portfolio throughout their experiences in the early childhood education class. This portfolio is a collection of student work, essays, professional article summaries, observations, etc. Students begin developing their portfolios in September with the guidance of the instructor. The professional portfolio will be graded two times each year: midterm exam grade and final exam grade.

14. Final Exam: The Early Childhood Education final exam consists of three (3) parts: practical portion (lesson in preschool, professional portfolio, and 100-question, multiple choice written exam.
