BREDEKAMP: Developmentally appropriate practices are
ways of teaching that vary for or adapt to the age and experience of the
individual learner. So fundamentally the definition has not changed. Instead,
it has been expanded to include the fact that not only do you have to consider
children as individuals, but you also have to consider children as members of
groups with their own cultural identities.
"Children
benefit most from teachers who have the skills, knowledge, and judgment to make
good decisions and are given the opportunity to use them".– Susan BredeKamp NAEYC,
Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Programs Serving Children from Birth through
Age 8 (2009)

ReplyDeleteHey Tiffany that is such a good quote because it is so true. some people forget sometimes that child watch and learn from them
Thank you so much for your quote from Susan BredeKamp. I believe that just because you have an education in a certain field doesn't mean that you can or will be a good teacher. I think passion for what you do plays such an important part. Children are the first ones to tell if your real or fake and they will let you know.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote by Susan BredeKamp. Children are like sponges and they absorbs as much as you put out for them. Children deserves skillfull, knowledgeable, educated teachers who love them and passionate about making a difference.
