These are the class preparation sheets for my EDP 370: Applied Child Development Course. This course is taught as a 'hacked' course. Lectures are prerecorded for students to listen to at home, we complete activities in-class. The culminating project is the Children's Thinking Project (adapted from Penelope Oldfather & West, 1999). Thus, we integrated a series of interviews from American Public Media: Dick Gordon's The Story radio program into the pedagogy for students to develop their interviewing skills.

• Reciprocal Teaching: “The purpose of reciprocal teaching is to
facilitate a group effort between teacher and students as well

text.”
• Students share responsibility for summarizing, generating
questions, clarifying, and applying what they read. They
‘teach’ each other.
• Quick Office / Google Docs
• Word (to create electronic handouts)
• Excel (to create tables / charts that organize information)
• PowerPoint (to create slides)

9. Intro to Google FORMS
• "The mission of our partnership is, first and foremost, to create a
transformative experience for the children in Step-UP Children's program
and the future teachers and leaders in NC State's Applied Child
Development (EDP 370) course. Students and faculty in EDP 370 strive to
serve as mentors creating opportunities for children at Step-UP to
systematically reflect on their experiences at school and their
understanding of their emerging identities as students. Children at Step-
UP, by candidly sharing their experiences contribute to developing more
compassionate and effective teachers and community leaders.
The mission of our partnership is also to produce new knowledge that can
be used to demonstrate the impact of the Children's program and to train
future educators and community leaders. As students in EDP 370 develop
their skills as careful observers of child thinking and behavior, they will
collect data that can be used by the Step-UP and by future students in the
class. Moreover, as they learn to evaluate curriculum for its developmental
appropriateness, they create a database of curricular materials that can be
used by co-partners."
