Chapter 1 of our textbook, A bridge to the classroom and early care: ECE capstone, discusses seven developmentally appropriate practice topics.  For this discussion, you will be focusing on one of these topics based on the group to which you are assigned below. For the topic you are assigned, write a position statement that reflects your current thinking on this topic.  Make sure to include the connection between this developmentally appropriate practice and NAEYC’s Standards for Early Childhood Professional Preparation.  For example, if you are assigned to the environment you might explain a bit about how the room is set up and why materials are presented as they are. This would include explanations of the developmental appropriateness of the environmental decisions you have made. You might even be able to find inspiration from Mrs. Ashland.Last Name

Guided Response: Review your classmates’ posts and respond to at least two classmates who wrote about a different Developmentally Appropriate Practice than you.  Analyze and share at least two positive implications of having a solid foundation in the Developmentally Appropriate Practice your classmates discussed.  In addition evaluate what the consequences might be for children who are in a classroom that does not utilize this developmentally appropriate practice.
