Want to get started with e-DECA 2.0?
Now build teacher resilience on e-DECA.
Teachers’ protective factors matter too. e-DECA now allows teachers to complete the Devereux Adult Resilience Survey (DARS) within the e-DECA system. Learn more about our commitment to adult resilience here, download a PDF of the DARS here, or watch a 1-minute video on how to access DARS on e-DECA.
e-DECA Strategies are Aligned with the Head Start Outcomes Framework.
e-DECA can now help teachers see and understand the connections between the e-DECA strategies and how they support the goals of the Head Start Learning Outcomes Framework. For each e-DECA strategy, a PDF that explains the alignment is available to view or download. (View a sample strategy here.) This new enhancement helps teachers see the endless opportunities available to promote children’s social emotional health and resilience while implementing goals from the Head Start Framework.
Please note that this enhancement is not available for Conscious Discipline & e-DECA users.
Strategies Support Assessment
The Devereux Center for Resilient Children’s model includes assessing AND promoting children’s protective factors. Research-based strategies are linked directly to a child’s assessment results and can be used in both the classroom and home settings to strengthen any areas of need that are identified by the assessment results. e-DECA users will find a comprehensive list of research-based strategies that are specifically targeted to strengthening Attachment/Relationships, Self-Regulation and Initiative. Strategies to reduce behavioral concerns are also available on the e-DECA. Watch a video on how to access strategies, or see a sample strategy report here.
Spanish strategies are coming soon to the e-DECA!
