The purpose of this group project is to create a diverse curriculum for young children AND to learn from the process of working/collaborating with others to create a project AND to create supportive learning communities. Every moment of this project is meant for learning. Please keep that in mind as you work in your groups! As current and future educators, it is your responsibility to be models for children and families in our journey for a more understanding, empathetic and equitable world.
Please select an age group that your curriculum will be appropriate for (Infants, toddlers, Preschool, School Age)
Your creativity is expected, therefore please be as creative as possible for this project.
You will be provided a self evaluation and group evaluation to complete. Therefore, some people may have different scores based on the self evaluation/group evaluation based on participation in the project.
Sometimes that may mean a classmate took over the presentation OR maybe did not contribute too much. Your instructor will determine what percentage is fair.
