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).
