Overview

The vision of the Inclusive Early Childhood Education program from the Bowling Green State University is to develop infant-toddler, pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and elementary grade teachers who have the knowledge, skills and dispositions to create, teach and assess child-centered, constructivist learning experiences for all children in inclusive and diverse classrooms and engage and collaborate with families, communities and other professionals to support the learning and development of all young children;

You’ll apply what you learn in your classes to your work in your students’ classes, putting you head and shoulders above other teacher education programs. By the time you graduate, you will have spent nearly 1,000 hours working with students in an inclusive classroom setting.
