There were very few course requirements beyond our clinical practice and seminars, so students learned to build their own program. That Liberal Arts approach has made me a lifelong learner.Learned first hand in visits to public and private schools in London and southwest England the "new" techniques developed by The British Infant (pre-schools in the US) Schools. Those Early Childhood techniques are now ubiquitous in US pre-schools: journaling, centers, invented spelling, cozy corners, rocking chairs. Even better was to be hired by a progressive US suburban principal who believed that her entire staff should use these techniques when other administrators in the US were skeptical. Today almost all early childhood programs in the US teach language arts this way. Show less
