Working With School Age Children,
by Marlene A. Bumgarner

| Advisory: | Eligible for English 250 and English 430A, Child Development 3. |
| Course Description: |
In CD14 students will review the developmental characteristics of school-aged children, issues relating to enrichment and after school programs for children from kindergarten to grade six, and specific details of leading and working in such a program. Students who complete this class with a C or better will be prepared to work with school-aged children in a variety of ways. Some observations and activities will involve visiting after school programs for school-aged children. Please begin to notice where those places are in your community. My online office hours are intended for you; students may also drop in to my "real" office during posted times without an appointment, or call me to make an appointment for another time. You are expected to post responses to weekly assignments by Sunday night, and to post at least one response each week to another student's posting. If you disappear from the board for two weeks without contacting me, you may be dropped (see withdrawal policy below).
