Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Classrooms
June 28, 2022 | 8:30 a.m.–11:30 a.m. (Virtual Zoom Session)
Developmentally appropriate practice means providing a joyful, engaging, play based environment for the Early Childhood Classrooms in Prekindergarten and Kindergarten. It is essential that students feel safe in order to use their natural curiosity to explore the world around them, take risks learning oral language, and enjoy learning through hands on experiences. Providing opportunities for families to participate in the classroom is also important. This session will review the latest research on developmentally appropriate practices and student learning.
