Developmentally Appropriate Practices 1.4

It’s important that all educators strive to provide an early education program that is conducive to the needs and levels of the children within their class.  This three-hour course looks at the meaning behind developmentally appropriate practice and how to provide a classroom that is developmentally appropriate for the children.  We look at each developmental age level, how developmentally appropriate practices originated, how to provide appropriate decision-making, create a caring and equitable community of learners within the classroom, and explain the difference between a DAP classroom and one that is not.  We also look into how observation and assessment is key within DAP and how to plan and teach for this environment.
