On an essential topic, this book is both authoritative and accessible to early childhood professionals.

The basic concepts of developmentally appropriate practice aren’t difficult or arcane, but they can be understood wrongly or incompletely—and often are! This new resource articulates and illustrates the core concepts in simple, memorable ways, including classroom examples and other techniques.

Based on NAEYC’s 2006 book Basics of Developmentally Appropriate Practice (#259), by Carol Copple and Sue Bredekamp, this video gives learners a brief introduction to the foundational ideas of the early childhood field.
