When we develop curriculum that focuses on the whole child, we create equitable learning experiences. This workshop will introduce you to Developmentally Appropriate Practice (known as DAP) and offer guidance on how to create developmentally appropriate curriculum. In developmentally appropriate classrooms, teachers assess children by what they already know, learn about each child’s abilities, interests, needs, and help each child meet their goals. In this workshop, participants will explore all that is DAP, and its role in nurturing children’s overall development. Through various curriculum models, DRDP assessment, and observation, participants will discover ways to create a developmentally appropriate curriculum for children.
