Developmentally Appropriate Practice: The Casebook

Expands on the
teaching of developmentally appropriate practice through the use of interactive
case study and discussion.







This casebook is a companion resource for
faculty and trainers to use in conjunction with the fourth edition of Developmentally Appropriate Practice in
Early Childhood Programs Serving Children from Birth Through Age 8. Through
study and discussion of cases based on real classrooms across the entire early
childhood spectrum, readers engage in critical thinking around developmentally
appropriate practice (DAP) to improve teaching practice and support learning
for all children.



Cases provide engaging narratives with a specific purpose and
objectives for learning. Each case aligns with specific DAP content and
provides provocative questions. To reinforce equitable teaching practice, the
cases cover a diverse range of children and family profiles, types of educational
programs, and environmental settings and topics.
