EDU 305 Wk 3 Team – Educational Program Design

Your Learning Team is a team of experts hired by a philanthropist who wants to start a one-of-a-kind educational program that supports infants through early childhood with development in the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social areas.

Design an educational program with few budgetary constraints. Your team may select a community school, after-school program, summer school program, daycare, sport or academic camp, club, or another educational program approved by your faculty member.

Write a 525- to 700-word proposal or create a 14- to 16-slide presentation to submit to the philanthropist about your one-of-a-kind educational program for the following age ranges:

• Infants and Toddlers – The first 2 years
• Early Childhood – Ages 2 to 6

Include the following for each age range’s education program:

• The learning theories that support your plan for this age level
• A description of at least 3 learning activities you intend to use for each of the developmental areas and the learning theories behind these activities
• How you will include diverse populations
• 3 to 5 media influences that target this age level and how each might support development in the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social areas
• A description or diagram of how the environment would be organized so that children may develop in each area
• Current research to support your ideas
