This course provides tools to assist in the assessment of early childhood learning environments and instruction. It is the fourth and final course necessary to complete the educational requirements for a Florida Child Care Professional Credential (FCCPC) and a Polk State College Preschool Certificate. During the course, the student provides evidence of skills-based competencies for inclusion in a professional portfolio as required by the Florida Department of Children and Families. The student must also complete observations in a licensed early childhood learning setting that has been approved by the Applied Education Coordinator. At least twice during the course, the Coordinator observes and rates the student’s teaching skills and demonstration of competencies while in the approved setting.
