The 2 + 2 Tech Prep Early Childhood Professions I and II curriculum guides, developed through funding from the Carl D. Perkins Education Act, are designed for students entering the first and second years of the program. They are the first and second in a series of courses that systematically expand students' knowledge, skills application, and field experiences, and are based on the following principles: a mastering of employer-identified competencies; a structured and coordinated curriculum beginning in grade 11 and developed through the postsecondary level; a high school plan that emphasizes communications, math, and science skills; one entry point, multiple exit points to the workforce; and elimination of course duplication. Both guides include descriptions of field experience models and early childhood professions, as well as units on the following competencies: professionalism; child growth, development, and learning; guidance and group management; curriculum development, content, and implementation; family and community relations; safety, health, nutrition; and program management. Appended are floor plans, student competency profiles, and student and parent evaluations of Early Child Professions. (LB)
