Similar to the A.L.C. program at TAV, the Early Childhood Education
students, after three years of studies, are asked to present a synthesis project to a committee in
order to graduate from the program. This project should demonstrate the students' expert knowledge
of the industry, as well as their ability to effectively educate the youth of tomorrow.
I asked the supervising instructor, Gabriella Campanelli, to provide me with a list of her
students' chosen integration project topics.
This year's synthesis exam asks student to base their projects on promoting either language &
literacy or math skills.
