Discussion: Developmentally Appropriate Practice

A bridge to the classroom and early care: ECE capstone, discusses seven developmentally appropriate practice topics. For this discussion, you will be focusing on Delivery of Curriculum. For the topic you are assigned, write a position statement that reflects your current thinking on this topic. Make sure to include the connection between this developmentally appropriate practice and NAEYC's Standards for Early Childhood Professional Preparation. For example, if you are assigned to the environment you might explain a bit about how the room is set up and why materials are presented as they are. This would include explanations of the developmental appropriateness of the environmental decisions you have made. You might even be able to find inspiration from Mrs. Ashland.
