Focus on Developmentally Appropriate Practice

Equitable and Joyful Learning in Kindergarten

If you've ever wondered how effective teachers actually do DAP in kindergarten, this is the book for you. You will see how kindergarten educators provide integrated learning opportunities that you can adapt to create a robust learning environment that is play oriented and supportive of required mandates and expectations.

You'll read about educators making intentional decisions in key areas of practice, which form the six guidelines for DAP in action:

1. Building a strengths-based community where everyone is welcomed and supported to grow and learn
2. Facilitating reciprocal partnerships with families
3. Observing, assessing, and documenting children’s learning and development
4. Using teaching strategies that enhance learning for each child
5. Implementing curriculum tied to meaningful learning goals
6. Demonstrating professionalism

This book will inspire you to apply these guidelines to establish goals and create learning experiences that fit who and where your students are and advocate for practices and environments that facilitate equitable, joyful learning for all kindergartners.
