Over the next few months I will be working on some support documents focusing on what the EC field calls--Developmentally Appropriate Practice.
For families and teachers alike, DAP is a hot topic and one that has been for quite some time since its formal conception by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) in the 1980s. It is a standard used by teachers, administrators and families may have heard this term used in reference to the quality of programming and/or curricula being used in their child's early childhood classroom.
DAP is often misinterpreted and misunderstood and I'd like to create some support documents summarizing and analyzing the research and information on this topic for future discussions.
If you have any comments or would like to suggest a discussion on one aspect of Developmentally Appropriate Practice, please let me know!
