Beginning in mid- September all students will attend class three days weekly and complete a field assignment in the Pre-Primary Division the remaining two days of the week. Students then meet twice a week as "High School Helpers" in the Pre-Primary Department here at Pine Crest. While working with the pre-school children, students are to observe developmental indicators. Developmental Psychology students then prepare a journal relating their observations to the various textbook related studies available which document development. MLA style documentation of all textbook research is required. Journal due dates are published in the course assignment syllabus. ( Journals will ALWAYS be due on Monday.)
