In fact, I strongly believe that Developmentally Appropriate Practices need to be implemented in all school grades. It’s about time we change the way our schools have been educating our youth. The principles of DAP need to be extended to all grades.

Perry http://deyproject.org/open-letter-to-naeyc/#comment-285 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 22:14:23 +0000 http://deyproject.org/?page_id=316#comment-285 I am thrilled to see this rally call to NAEYC and I appreciate the delicate context you acknowledge while also firmly advising that NAEYC does not have to reinvent the DAP wheel to make a stand for insuring that Common Core State Standards are providing “standards of experience” a la Katz, Young Children, May 2007.

You all are way more savvy of the politics, history, and as you say, financial aspects to this Call than I. My one recommendation to this otherwise TOTALLY RIGHT ON AND NECESSARY stand up to NAEYC is to format a few bullet points to make clear the steps you are asking NAEYC to take.

I am honored to be a part of this Call and to add my name.
