Have you learned something new from a child lately?
The Associated Students Child Development Lab invites you to creatively reinforce teaching for your students through assignments involving observation of children in the ASCDL.
The ASCDL is a nationally accredited, state licensed on-campus learning lab. Students can utilize the observation room attached to the preschool classroom. It is equipped with a one-way mirror, microphones to hear children’s conversations, cameras with the ability to record and zoom, capacity for 36 students and a smaller side room used to watch the children in the play yard. Students can also interact one-on-one with children and conduct research in the infant, toddler and preschool rooms. The lab can be used as a one-time experience for your students, or you can use it as part of an entire semester’s curriculum.
Whether you are planning ahead for next semester or want to use the ASCDL as a last minute optional assignment for your students, check us out. Faculty research is also welcome at the ASCDL. Contact Cindy Ratekin or visit our Web site for more information.
