Developmentally appropriate practice requires a nuanced understanding of child development, individual children, and the social and cultural contexts of children, families, and educators. Case studies provide real-world examples that make for rich discussions and greater learning in educational and professional development settings. This casebook presents nearly 50 cases addressing infancy through third grade and across multiple, diverse settings. Written and edited by teacher educators, researchers, classroom teachers, and other early childhood professionals, these cases offer unique opportunities for critical thinking and discussion on practice that supports all children and families.
