ReviewsFor early childhood educators, there are very few concepts as profound and far reaching as DAP. For me, it has long served as a north star and a measuring stick for program quality. But educators are always eager to have more insight into what it really looks like in day-to-day decisions, curriculum experiences, and teaching practices. That''s why I was so excited to read this new book! There is a great need for resources that translate research into practice in accessible ways, and this book does just that. Teachers will see themselves in these pages as they read about the real-life application of DAP through stories told by other teachers doing the same important work, examples that highlight challenges and opportunities, and ideas that spark new thinking. This book is a must-have addition to any early educator library! --Rachel Robertson, Vice President, Learning and Development, Bright Horizons Family Solutions Focus on Developmentally Appropriate Practice brings together a diverse collection of articles to highlight the many ways early childhood teachers can engage with the six guidelines of DAP. Voices from practitioners, researchers, and administrators weave together powerful narratives that expand our understanding of the role of DAP in teaching, curriculum, assessment, and work with families. --Denisha Jones, Executive Director, Defending the Early Years, andGuest Faculty, Sarah Lawrence College This book is a perfect introduction to what it means to work proactively to support young children through an equity-based lens. Children come to learning experiences with their own languages, identities, and approaches to learning. As educators, it is important to embrace these. This book provides tangible supports to assist teachers in doing so. --Cecilia Scott-Croff, Executive Director, Early Childhood Center,Borough of Manhattan Community College The trust that children and their families put in us is enormous. This book ensures each teacher''s success by supporting educators to use their understanding of how each child is developing, model developmentally appropriate expectations, and provide intentionally designed experiences and interactions to create joyful learning environments. Children deserve nothing less. --Sherry Cleary, Retired University Dean, City University of New York The guiding principles and best practices shared throughout the book deepened my understanding of effective teaching in preschool and inspired me to be more intentional in creating a classroom community where everyone is valued, heard, and seen. I recommend this book to anyone who wishes to create a harmonious community using DAP. --Ashley Harrell, Accreditation Facilitation Project Coordinator, 4C For Children
