Purposeful Practice: Applying Developmental Knowledge in the Classroom

Competency: ECE 4.3
Cost: Free

*This training will take place online only via a live webinar. Each participant must log on to a separate computer or via the Zoom Meetings smartphone app (Android / iPhone) in order to be eligible to receive training credit.

Description: This interactive session creates space for teachers to reflect on what Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) looks like in their own classrooms and how it guides intentional teaching for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Using classroom scenarios, guided reflection, and hands-on activities, participants examine how developmental knowledge informs daily decisions related to curriculum, interactions, routines, and learning environments. Teachers leave with practical, age-appropriate strategies they can immediately apply to support how young children grow, learn, and thrive.
