About
The consistent emphasis on diversity, individuality, and context, attention to joyful, play-based learning and development, and connections to related frameworks (Professional Standards and Competencies for ECE, equity position statement) are a few of the qualities that make the fourth edition of Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP) significant. This session will provide an overview of the useful features of the 4th edition as well as an introduction to a suite of companion materials designed specifically for higher education faculty and instructors. Sign up for an insider’s guide to new options, resources, and opportunities for using a DAP lens to address diversity, equity, and inclusion.

About
This January issue of Natural Resources opens with a very recent article highlighting that while teacher candidates may have a positive attitude toward trauma-informed practices, they may not be well-prepared to implement them. What comes next is a set of curated resources for learning about and implementing trauma-informed practices that we hope you will use to help address the aforementioned gap.

About
In 1990, Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop published an essay about the importance of providing young readers with diverse books that reflect the “multicultural nature of the world” in which we live. In the essay, Dr. Bishop coined the phrase “Windows, Mirrors and Sliding Glass Doors” to explain how children see themselves in books and how they can also learn about the lives of others through literature. Dr. Bishop makes the point that it’s crucial for children to view themselves in the books they read. Here are resources for learning more about Dr. Bishop and how she has influenced the early childhood field
