ANSWER:
The three components of DAP are as follows:
- What is known about child development—allow general predictions
- What is known about an individual child—know how to adapt things to the child
- What is known about the social and cultural contexts in which children live—understand and validate the child’s home culture to make learning more meaningful and relevant
All three components allow teachers to teach the whole child.
