NAEYC Annual Conference 2013

This year's theme focuses on a critical issue: Developmentally Appropriate Practice in the 21st Century. Often shortened to DAP, developmentally appropriate practice is an approach to teaching grounded both in the research on how young children develop and learn and in what is known about education effectiveness. The framework is designed to promote young children's optimal learning and development.

- Explore the latest research and proven best
practices.
- Connect with other educators and advocates who
