First Friday Q&A: How Do You Help Teachers Understand DAP?

I received a fantastic question for First Friday Q&A:

I was reading your article on DAP and was impressed. I am running a preschool in Mumbai, India and would like to conduct a workshop for my teachers on DAP . I would like to understand how I can help teachers understand what is DAP and what that means in their classrooms.

I love speaking on this topic — but that’s part of the problem.  I talk about this for an hour and just cover some of the basics.  So what I do I say with just a few minutes?  Here’s where I’d start:

How do YOU briefly explain DAP to parents and/or teachers?
