  This lesson introduces Developmentally Appropriate Practices. DAP is introduced through a lecture that is developmentally inappropriate, followed by activities that teach the same information in a developmentally appropriate manner. Through this method, they will not only understand what DAP is, but also have experienced it.
• Positive Guidance Techniques
  Through a power-point presentation and participation in a discussion, students will learn about different guidance techniques for children. The class will end with an application of their knowledge as students create a roller-box story to share with the class.
• Reciprocal Relationships of Trust
  Through a power point presentation, students will learn the importance of establishing reciprocal relationships of trust so that their preschool can be developmentally appropriate. To exemplify how this can be done, students will learn how they can involve parents in activities such as puppet shows. They will then create paper sack puppets and perform a story or fairy tale for other classmates. Knowing how to use puppets and dramatic play with their preschoolers will give them opportunities to establish relationships with family members.
