Application Of My Graduate Program

Your presentation must include the following:

• Program Learning Outcomes (PLO’s)
  • Summarize each of the 7 program learning outcomes (please refer to the instructor guidance for a complete list of the program learning outcomes). In your summary, include examples how each PLO is specifically aligned with the NAEYC Standards for Early Childhood Professional Preparation and its practical application to the field of early childhood education. Support this portion of your presentation by directly citing the NAEYC standards.
• Tying it Together
  • Explain specifically how each program learning outcome supports your individual career goals.
  • Defend to your future self how mastering each of the program learning outcomes has practical application to not only the field of early childhood education, but also to your specific career goals. Support this portion of your presentation with at least two scholarly resources.

I have attached the Program Learning Outcomes and the NAEYC Standards for Early Childhood Professional Preparation. 

The PLO’s for this program are:

· PLO 1: Evaluate evidence-based theories and strategies aligned with early development and learning needs to support high quality learning environments. (NAEYC 1, 4)

· PLO 2: Assess effective communication and collaboration strategies to positively influence partnerships with community agencies and families with young children. (NAEYC 1, 2)

· PLO 3: Evaluate early childhood curricula designed to promote development and learning across all domains of development. (NAECY 2,4,5)

· PLO 4:  Evaluate effective assessment and evaluation strategies, tools, and procedures designed to improve outcomes for young children, families, and programs. (NAEYC 2,3)

· PLO 5: Design discipline-specific action research based on relevant theory and research methodology. (NAEYC 1,3,4,6)

· PLO 6: Propose ethical solutions that promote educational transformation in the field of early childhood education. (NAEYC 6)

· PLO 7: Construct a personal definition of leadership as an early childhood education professional. (NAEYC 6)

· Remember, you are summarizing each of the seven PLO’s and are stating how each one specifically aligns with the NAEYC Standards for Early Childhood Professional Preparation (Links to an external site.) , by directly citing the NAEYC standards.

· There are hints provided after each PLO as to which NAEYC standard it aligns with, but you need to elaborate and expand on exactly what that alignment means.
