Description:

This professional development resource features the video program produced by NAEYC with the 2009 release of the third edition of NAEYC’s Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Programs Serving Children from Birth through Age 8. The video includes an overview of developmentally appropriate practice, presentations from NAEYC leadership and experts in the field, as well as scenes depicting developmentally appropriate practice in action—in classrooms for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergartners, and primary grade children. This video originally was posted on the NAEYC website from February through May 2009.

In addition, this DVD-ROM also includes the video podcast series that was posted on the NAEYC Web site in April and May 2009: Responses to Questions You Asked about DAP. Carol Copple and Sue Bredekamp—authors and editors of key NAEYC publications on DAP—respond to questions from the field on the new DAP. This DVD-ROM includes a bonus video prepared for this resource: reflections on the historical journey of DAP at NAEYC from Sue Bredekamp, Carol Copple, and Peter Pizzolongo.

Also included are three PDF documents: Reflection Questions, About the Book, and DAP Resources, which include hyperlinks to access other DAP-related resources from the Web.
