This year's NAEYC conference will offer attendees over 700 sessions on early childhood topics. In addition, they will be debuting Grandes Comienzos, Futuros Brillantes (Great Beginnings, Bright Futures), a new initiative that will focus on the strengths and needs of Spanish-speaking children, families, and staff across the Americas. As part of this initiative, attendees will experience new sessions conducted in Spanish, sessions on dual-language learning, and other sessions addressing issues affecting Spanish-speaking children and families. In addition there will be a number of sessions on the CDA program.
Since the first edition in 1987, Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Programs has been an essential resource for the early child childhood field. Fully revised and expanded, the third edition comes with a supplementary CD containing readings on key topics, plus video examples showing developmentally appropriate practice in action. Based on what the research says about development, learning, and effective practices, as well as what experience tells us about teaching intentionally, this book articulates the principles that should guide our decision making. Chapters describe children from birth through age 8 in detail, with extensive examples of appropriate practice for infant/toddler, preschool, kindergarten, and primary levels.
