BKE 440 Professional Administrative Seminar
This course is an intensive examination of policies, procedures, and responsibilities for administration of early childhood education programs. It includes an intensive clinical experience that provides the student opportunities to facilitate learning, design environments, create program handbooks, policies, and procedures manuals, and engage in practices for meaningful and positive adult leadership as well as experiences collaborating with colleagues, families, and children. Upon completion, the student should be able to demonstrate effective strategies necessary to lead and manage a quality early learning environment in a home center, community preschool, and/or daycare including private and/or faith-based programs. In addition, the students will demonstrate effective interpersonal and leadership skills that promote quality, align to the NAEYC code of ethical conduct, and meet state program requirements. This course requires one semester-long experience in early learning environments, other than those in a school setting. This is the non-licensure seminar/leadership course for students who are not pursuing BK licensure. Admission to the Teacher Education program is required for at least one year prior to taking BKE 440.
