STANDARD 7.

EARLY CHILDHOOD FIELD EXPERIENCES

Field experiences and clinical practice are planned and sequenced so that
candidates develop the knowledge, skills and professional dispositions necessary to
promote the development and learning of young children across the entire
developmental period of early childhood in at least two of the three early childhood
age groups (birth age 3, 3 through 5, 5 through 8 years) and in the variety of
settings that offer early education (early school grades, child care centers and
homes, Head Start programs).
