ECH 565 - Health & Safety Practices in Early Childhood Educations: Program Development & Evaluation Credits: 3

This course stresses assessment of national health and safety standards for early childhood programs, as well as the development and evaluation of educational programs designed to improve the health and safety outcomes of young children and their families. Students will learn best practices in measuring program outcomes as a critical part of overall program evaluation. While the focus of this course is on health and safety, skills learned in developing a program outcome model will be directly applicable to overall program development and evaluation as funders are increasingly requesting outcome measurement as part of grant applications.
