The purpose of this group project is to create a diverse curriculum for young children
AND to learn from the process of working/collaborating with others to create a project
AND to create supportive learning communities. Every moment of this project is meant
for learning. Please keep that in mind as you work in your groups! As current and future
educators, it is your responsibility to be models for children and families in our journey
for a more understanding, empathetic and equitable world.
Please select an age group that your curriculum will be appropriate for (Infants, toddlers,
Preschool, School Age)
Your creativity is expected, therefore please be as creative as possible for this project.
You will submit 1 Group PowerPoint to be graded. You will be provided a self evaluation
and group evaluation to complete. Therefore, some people may have different scores
based on the self evaluation/group evaluation based on participation in the project.
Sometimes that may mean a classmate took over the presentation OR maybe did not
contribute too much. Your instructor will determine what percentage is fair. Please DO
NOT blame any group member if you earn a lower score, as I will look at the entire
situation.
I highly advise you receive some support from our wonderful Super Tutors Wendy or
Jesicca or myself (your instructor) as you are creating your Power Point presentation.
This is a beautiful project and I am hoping you will enjoy it and LEARN! ! : )
