When the parents of a preschooler at a university lab school questioned the classroom practice of Leader of the Day, with its "special privileges," it gave two teachers pause to think. They share their reflections about the purpose of the practice; what it means to the children; and what the children learn from it. Following guidelines from the Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) framework, the teachers developed a series of activities to involve the children in making decisions about the Leader of the Day routine.
