third grade and across multiple, diverse settings. Written and
edited by teacher educators, researchers, classroom teachers, and

opportunities for critical thinking and discussion on practice that
supports all children and families. The cases are organized into
eight parts that reflect the six guidelines of DAP plus the topics
of supporting children with disabilities and supporting dual
language learners. Brief overviews of each guideline and the
additional topics set the stage for study of the cases. Each case
provides an opportunity to Make connections to the fourth edition

practices and how they might be improved Support your responses
