Course Schedule

BSAC offerings (5 hours)

Johnston Community College is the first college in North Carolina to offer BSAC on-line. The state of North Carolina requires BSAC training for school-age professionals who plan and ensure the implementation of daily activities or supervise groups of school-age children in licensed child care programs. The modules in BSAC will cover the elements of quality care, child development, positive guidance, age appropriate activities, environmental design, health/safety, nutrition, and NC Child Care Regulations. Students will get the same information as a face to face class, but through distance learning.

The ABC's of Early Literacy (5 hours)

This 5 hour (.5 CEU credit) online course was designed to provide participants with information about the development of early literacy skills in young children. Specific emphasis will be placed on utilizing developmentally appropriate techniques for facilitating phonological / phonemic awareness and pre-reading skills in preschool age children. The session will focus on enhancing literacy rich environments with the use of listening games, vocabulary enrichment activities, and games for alphabet letter names and sounds.

Literacy in 21st Century Schools

This course provides instruction focused on updating the professional knowledge and technical competency of educators to satisfy the requirements for k - 12 teacher renewal credits.

Oral Language: The Foundation of Literacy (5 hours)

The foundation of literacy development is oral language. Language rich environments help children learn the vocabulary needed to express their basic needs, ideas, emotions, and questions. Within this 5-hour (.5 CEU credit) session, we will discover the importance of oral language within the classroom with a focus on strategies to increase the use of oral language such as storytelling, read aloud, and through interactions.
