Moving children toward the next stage in their development and learning requires the teacher to be intentional in everything they do. This includes setting up the environment, infusing the day with learner outcomes, creating a schedule that includes both intentional instruction and ample time for students to learn through play, as well as seeing those teachable moments when working with a child and responding in a way that supports the learner in developing a deeper level of understanding. For children with disabilities, DAP means providing individualized instruction and scaffolding of learning in order for them to be successful in an inclusive environment. This Virtual Kit on DAP was created to assist early childhood educators in understanding best practice in early childhood and provide support to create a classroom where all students achieve to their highest potential.
