You can administer the nationally standardized, reliable, and valid Devereux Early Childhood Assessment (DECA) for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers online! This web-based system allows for both teacher/caregiver and parent ratings to be entered online, it does the scoring for you, generates reports, provides Conscious Discipline strategies for both school and home settings, and stores your data in a secure database.

Some of the Great Features
Strategies
For programs using Conscious Discipline, the availability of a nationally standardized, strength-based assessment of children’s resilience is a much needed tool to track progress and monitor outcomes.
For programs already using the e-DECA and Conscious Discipline separately, this resource can serve as a solution to make social and emotional assessment and planning a more efficient and coordinated process.
Adult Resilience Focus
We also focus on promoting the health and well-being of all adults who parent, nurture, and/or work with young children through a focus on adult resilience. The critical connection between children’s resilience and the health and wellness of the adults in children’s lives cannot be underestimated. We began this initiative in response to the growing understanding and appreciation that promoting children’s resilience depends significantly on the resilience of who cares for them. Our e-DECA users can now complete the Devereux Adult Resilience Survey (DARS) within the system, and they can also access strategies for promoting their own resilience!

Reflective Checklist for Preschool Teachers
Yet another great enhancement to the e-DECA, the Devereux Reflective Checklist for Preschool Teaching Practices! Young children’s behavior is affected by many factors, including the quality of the learning environment and the effectiveness of teaching practices. This checklist is designed to help preschool teachers reflect on and intentionally use practices that promote social and emotional health in preschoolers.
