This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin.InstructionsWeek 2 Assignment: Theories and Contributors to Early Childhood EducationDirections

The purpose of this assignment is to describe influences and changes that have occurred in early childhood education through its history. (CO1)

Create a ten (10) slide PowerPoint presentation depicting important concepts/theories and contributors to early Childhood education. You must include five (5) contributors and five (5) theories. Provide highlights/important facts for each of your contributors/theories.

All assignments and forums in the class are designed for you to demonstrate your understanding and your knowledge of the material content. It is never acceptable or appropriate to simply provide information that is copied and pasted from a source - any source. Even if the information were cited properly, copying and pasting does not demonstrate knowledge.

All assignments are submitted to Turnitin, which is a plagiarism checking tool. Any assignment receiving a score of 30% or better raises serious concerns about the originality of your work. An originality score should generally be no more than 15-18%. Please keep this in mind as you are submitting work. Originality scores between 30 and 50% will be graded with a significant loss of points. Originality Scores of greater than 50% will be graded with a 0.

Please know that there will be serious consequences for any submission made in this class that raises the concern of plagiarism. If you are in doubt about something, please ask. I am happy to clarify and answer questions. Thank you for your attention to this very serious matter.
