Assignment:
For the final project, you will demonstrate your understanding of the material in this course by developing a classroom plan for either an infant/ toddler childcare facility or for a preschool classroom, based upon Piaget's Stage Theory.
For this project, include:
- An overview of Piaget's Stage Theory.
- The developmental characteristics of the selected age group.
- Physical layout of facility or classroom that aligns with Piaget's Stage Theory. Justify your layout with evidence from the text or other scholarly resources. (You may use a software application that provides graphic layouts like Classroom Architect, or create your layout in a word document.)
A menu of activities that foster learning across each of the domains: physical, cognitive, social and emotional, and language acquisition (so a minimum of four sample activities should be included). Make sure to include a detailed description with a step-by-step procedure that includes required materials.
An explanation of how and why each of the activities enhances development and aligns with Piaget's Stage Theory.
