Title overview

Inspired by her own classroom experiences, Sue Bredekamp designed Effective Practices in Early Childhood Education to empower a new generation of teachers who can make a difference in children's lives. An entire chapter introduces you to developmentally appropriate practices (DAP) for early childhood education. Subsequent chapters are organized according to the NAEYC guidelines, which Bredekamp has coauthored for over 30 years. Building on the DAP framework, Bredekamp focuses on 3 themes that are essential to quality teaching: intentional teaching, developmentally appropriate curriculum and evidence-based, effective practices.

The 4th Edition introduces a new theme, the importance of developing children's executive function, self-regulation, and positive approaches to learning. Expanded discussions of ways to support and protect the role of play in children's education, a completely revised chapter on STEM teaching and learning and a greater focus on culturally responsive curriculum keep you up to date on the dynamic field of early education.
