ECE 2 Honors explores ways to aid in the development of children from birth to age 12, with a special focus on age 5-12.

ECE 2 students will complete a roughly 150 hour internship in multiple elementary classrooms. This is a 2 period class, lasting 3 hours, so that we have ample time with the children. Students will complete an e-portfolio, similar to this website, at the end of the course.
