Students are expected to: draw on aspects of their knowledge acquired in both this unit as well as units taught in previous semesters, observe infants and toddlers in their placement settings, develop context specific curriculum, and document appropriate learning experiences for them based on their strengths and interests.

Students will take full responsibility for planning and documenting systems during the fourth week, while working with the Supervising Teacher and other educators.
