Why HighScope?
HighScope’s Approach to Learning
• With HighScope, children are active participants in the learning process
• Rather than the traditional methods where teachers give information to children
Active Participatory Learning
Children learn through direct hands-on experiences with people, objects, ideas, and events.
Supported by Brain Research
• New neural pathways are created through new thoughts
• When used repeatedly, connections become stronger, more efficient
• If not used, the connections die out
Active Participatory Learning
With HighScope, it’s not just “hands-on”…
It’s “minds-on” learning!

High Quality Teacher Training
The HighScope Training of Trainers Evaluation shows that systematic in-service teacher training improves the quality of early childhood programs and promotes children’s development.
Why Look for Proven Training?
Independent observers rated trained High/Scope programs significantly higher than comparison programs on:
Providing a good physical environment that was organized and gave children access to diverse materials.Creating a consistent daily routine that encouraged children to plan, carry out, and review their work.Establishing supportive patterns of adult-child interaction that promoted children’s reasoning and language skills.
Training Improves Program Quality!
Novice teachers benefit from systematic in-service training which provides both needed information on theory and practical information on implementation in the classroom.
Veteran teachers benefit, too. HighScope training provides a coherent curriculum framework including current research and innovation, renewing their commitment to working with children and families.
