Early EdU E-mail – Personal Invitation I would like to personally invite you to apply for the Summer 2025 Early EdU online course. Early EdU courses are offered through the Office of Child Care. Here’s some information about Summer Semester: The course will be held May 19 th -August 16 th , 2025. Applicants will be asked to prioritize the courses that they would like to take and may participate in one course per semester. Participants usually spend an average of 10-15 hours weekly completing coursework. Participants must be able to spend one to two hours directly interacting with children weekly for practicum and will need to film themselves (e.g. on a cell phone) interacting with children several times throughout the semester. Upon successful completion of a course, participants may earn three college credits through Southern Utah University for just $69(which may transfer to other Utah universities). Courses are open to anyone who works with children in the state of Utah. Summer 2025 Course Options: Child Development and Brain Building: Participants will learn to identify children’s developmental trajectories. An emphasis on brain development will provide participants with a unique lens to apply in their early learning program. Participants will create early childhood environments that promote physical, language, social and emotional and cognitive development. The course explores the key role that individual differences and family and socio-cultural context plays in development and learn strategies to build relationships that support each child’s individual development. Supporting Language and Literacy Development in Preschool: This course unites theoretical knowledge of language and literacy development in young children with practical application of evidence-based strategies in early childhood settings. Topics include building vocabulary, phonological awareness and supporting early writing. I think you would be a great candidate for this program, and I would like to encourage you to apply to take a course this spring.
