DEC Resource Highlight, Part 3



 As we mentioned in a previous blog post, in the coming weeks we will make an effort to address  topics suggested by our June 2016 conference participants. To that end, we will make recommendations on the available resources from the Division for Early Childhood, such as their position statements , Learning Decks (webinars), journals, and other publications. Please note that some of the resources are free for DEC members only (such as the journal articles); however, DEC does provide resources that are free for all, such as the Recommended Practices and Position Statements. Others are available for purchase. This list is by no means fully comprehensive; we selected more recently released publications or resources (within the last 6-8 years).
