Division for Early Childhood 2024 Conference

Without doubt, early education professionals strive to meet the diverse needs of children. Both ECE and ECSE teachers bring unique training and experience that can ensure that this hope is a reality in early learning programs. So, what if each could join their superpowers to identify children’s needs, tailor support for children, and facilitate joyful learning environments where teachers are intentional, inspirational, impactful. Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) is the most logical path to creating learning opportunities for children that acknowledge their assets, build upon what they already know, and encourage their greatest potential. Join this session to explore the possibilities of collaboration between ECE and ECSE teachers toward optimizing developmental outcomes for children.
