OHIO Student Involvement

The CDC serves as a practicum site for students in The Patton College of Education as well as programs in other Colleges. This varies each year, but has included: Nutrition, Interior Architecture, Physical Therapy, Recreation, and Sport Pedagogy, Psychology, Counseling, Speech-Language Science, and Child and Family Studies. The student involvement ranges from a one-time observation to ongoing participation in the classroom environment. Most specifically, the Center serves as a site for the clinical model of education in the Patton College of Education for Teacher Candidates in Early Childhood.

We are always open to collaborative ideas. Please contact Kristin Mazzeo Barron, Director if you have a proposal for a collaboration.
