Effective Practices in Early Childhood Education is designed to empower a new generation of teachers who can make a difference in children's lives. It covers both how to teach, and what to teach, young children from birth through age 8. An entire chapter introduces developmentally appropriate practices (DAP) for early childhood education. Subsequent chapters are organized according to the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) guidelines, focusing on 3 themes that are essential to quality teaching: intentional teaching, developmentally appropriate curriculum and evidence-based, effective practices.

The 5th Edition reflects the latest NAEYC position statement, illustrating both enduring practices and changes based on new knowledge, current context and emerging issues. Emphasis is placed on advancing the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion to ensure every child has the opportunity to meet their full learning potential.
