I understand that the assigned textbook, e-book, and/or access code is essential in order to be successful in this course.

I understand that I can proactively email my instructor with questions about the content of the course.

Throughout this semester, we will be exploring a variety of Early Childhood topics.  You will have many opportunities to share what you have been learning about through written responses.  As we begin this course, I would like to get a feel for your writing style and tone.  Using complete sentences, proper punctuation, capitalization, and spelling, type a one paragraph response (to include at least 6 sentences) to the following prompt – What does a possible future of working in the Early Childhood look like for you? You may use the following questions to assist you in writing your paragraph response.  What experiences have you had in the field of early childhood?  What excites you most about teaching young learners?  What do you see as possible challenges of working in the field of early childhood?  What is your superpower?  How do you think this will help you in the field of early childhood?   As long as your writing sample includes at least six sentences related to the prompt, you will receive all 8 points for this section of the practice assessment.
