The Faculty of Education at the University of Prince Edward Island has openings for sessional instructors to teach the following courses in the Winter 2019 Sessions.

ED-4690-99  DEVELOPING LEARNING AND PLAY IN THE EARLY YEARS (AGES 0-8)
Current theoretical and conceptual frameworks in the field of early years education will be examined as well as how they inform current approaches to the children’s learning from age 0-8. Participants will examine play and its major role in young children’s learning, major influences affecting learning and play, methods of observing and studying play, and practical approaches for supporting and facilitating children’s learning in early childhood settings and in grades K-2. Participants in current BEd programmes and educators from early years settings will develop projects combining their observations in early years settings with practical curriculum activities.

This is a three semester-hour course offered on campus to Bachelor of Education students from January 3rd to February 7th on Thursdays and Fridays.  Classes will be from 2:30pm to 5:20pm, with the exception of the last two classes (February 5 & 7), which will be 8:30am to 11:20am.

ED-6190-15  CRITICAL PEDAGOGY
In this course, students examine the social conditions and practices that shape education. Students explore schools in their historical, economic, political, cultural, and social contexts.

This is a three semester-hour course offered on campus to students in our MEd Focus on Global Perspectives cohort from January 3 to April 15 on Mondays from 1:30pm to 4:20pm.
