UDAP STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS ANDANSWERS ALREADY GRADED A+
kDescribe Developmentally Appropriate Practice - It helps teachers improve the effectiveness of their
work
with children. It helps them make decisions based on what they know about children. Teachers who
know how children think and learn, recognize that children learn best when they
are given many opportunities to explore materials and their environment with their peers and adults.
Knowledgeable caregivers are able to build on what children already know and can do but also make
them stretch toward what they don't know yet or are unable to do without help.
Describe intentionality and list some ways that you can implement this strategy. - The adult must be
consciously aware of the decisions they make
about:
1. Varying their teaching strategies to be more appropriate for the group and individual children
2. Preplanning and organizing the environment with learning goals and objectives in mind
3. Meeting children where they are and helping them reach challenging and achievable goals
Three critical challenges impacting early childhood practices are: - 1. Addressing differences in school
success and achievement
2. Integrating and aligning preschool and elementary school programming
3. Improving teacher preparation, professional development and on-site support

, Describe how the entire community benefits when children receive quality care. - Parents and
communities who have access to quality care tend to have a more stable workforce. Employees have
fewer absences and late arrivals at work, higher productivity levels and are less likely to be dependent on
social services. Finding good
child care is the first step to school success. Children enter school with foundational skills that they need
to be successful. When parents feel that their child is in a safe, loving and stimulating environment they
feel more at ease at work.
Describe the importance of establishing relationships. - • Just as children go through separation anxiety,
so do parents.
• Trust is established over time.
• Remember, a caregiver's role is not the same as a parent. Parents need to know you respect them as
the child's first teacher.
• If you are a new teacher or in a new program, parents probably won't know you and yet you will be
taking care of their child five days a week!
• Put yourself in their place and pass on all the information you can about their child.
Describe some ways to establish positive relationships. - • Create an environment where parents and
children feel welcome and included. Greetboth the child and parent by name as they arrive. Think of
something positive andconnecting to say to them as they come in. Do or say something special to let
them know that you are glad they are here today.
• Provide opportunities for open dialog and two-way communication. Parents value anddepend on your
professional knowledge and experience. Be careful not to comeacross as a know-it-all, instead be
genuine and trustworthy.
Describe some strategies for improving difficult relationships. - • Respect parents preferences, choices
and concerns for their children. Be considerate of their thoughts and dreams for their child and reassure
them that you are here for them.
• Identify the parents' strengths and weaknesses. Stay on neutral ground, leaving strong emotions out as
much as possible. Keep in mind the most important thing is that children need caring adults at home and
at school who have their best interest at heart.
Describe some ways that you can increase the bond between you and the children in your care. - By
talking with them about their interests and ideas
