Classroom Observations
Students may participate in observing the school’s classrooms as part of their coursework. Review our observation guidelines for more information.
Conduct Research
There are also rich opportunities to engage in research within the School for Early Learning. The school supports research focused on early learning, child health and development including physical activity and nutrition, and family/community.
Research projects may represent an array of disciplines, epistemologies, and methodologies. This could range from studying how teachers support children’s alphabet learning to the importance of parents’ aspirations for their children to the role of nutrition and physical activity in healthy child development.
Our partner, the Crane Center for Early Childhood Research and Policy, has details about active and archival research opportunities and eligibility requirements to apply.
