Young children learn best when their unique strengths, identities, and developmental needs are at the center of every learning experience. In this course, participants will explore how child development serves as the foundation for developmentally appropriate practice as they create inclusive learning environments, build meaningful partnerships with families, use authentic assessment to guide instruction, and design engaging, place-based learning experiences for PreK–1st grade learners. By the end of the course, educators will be better prepared to nurture belonging, design equitable and joyful learning experiences, connect learning to children's communities, and strengthen their professional practice. 

This course is organized into 10 modules. You may submit each module and continue working on the course without waiting for evaluator feedback. Reference the provided rubrics to guide your work and ensure you're meeting expectations.
