ECED330 Partnerships and Collaboration

Partnerships and Collaboration provides students with skills necessary to work effectively in partnership with parents, community professionals, colleagues in education including educators, other school professionals, paraprofessionals as well as administrators. Communication, conflict resolution, and collaboration skills are practiced using a variety of strategies and approaches such as the Touchpoints Approach. Special emphasis is given to working with others when high conflict and opposing viewpoints exist along with strategies for partnering with parents who have limited English proficiency. As well, students use the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct when applying conflict resolution and collaboration skills to situations that depict partnering with families, professionals and colleagues
