Understanding Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP)
Your reading assignment from NAEYC explains and provides guidelines for implementing developmentally appropriate practices as well as the three core considerations in DAP. In addition, it reviews critical issues in early childhood education and the core principles of child development. Your responses to these questions will show your understanding of DAP as well as how you would use it in an early childhood setting.
Please respond to the following:
Think about the critical issues that impede early childhood professionals as they work with young children.
Share how you would apply a piece of the new knowledge from the NAEYC article to alleviate one critical issue.
The foundation of DAP is built on research about how children learn and develop. NAEYC has identified 12 core principles of child development that inform practice.
Outline three of these core principles and provide examples of how you might specifically use each in an early childhood environment.
