ECE 332 Assignment

Classroom Plan
 

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 on Piaget’s Stage Theory.
 

For this project, include:

1. Summarize Piaget’s Stage Theory      in your own words.
2. Identify and describe the      developmental characteristics of the selected age group.
3. Design and describe the      physical layout of facility or classroom that aligns with Piaget’s Stage      Theory.  Use evidence from the text or other scholarly resources when      describing your layout.  (You may use a software application that      provides graphic layouts like Classroom Architect, or create your layout in a word      document.)
4. Create one activity for each      developmental domain.  Make sure to include a detailed description      with a step-by-step procedure that includes required materials (i.e. clay,      puzzles, etc.).  Discuss how each of these activities maximizes      development and align to Piaget’s Stage Theory.
