Based on NAEYC?s 2005 book Basics of Developmentally Appropriate Practice, by Carol Copple and Sue Bredekamp, this video gives learners a brief introduction to the foundational ideas of the early childhood field. The DVD is versatile enough to be shown as part of any beginner-level discussion of DAP. Some instructors and trainers will want to show it when learners are using Developmentally Appropriate Practice (#375) or other texts.
