What is High/Scope?
High/Scope is an active learning approach to education. Each classroom is organized into centers to meet childrens’ needs in all academic areas. There is a consistent daily schedule that is most important for elementary learners. Children learn skills and content based on the district curriculum. The difference is in the delivery. Students complete their work in workshops working independently or in cooperative groups. The classroom environment is structured so that children have access to all of the materials they may need to complete their work. Teachers are continuously assessing students work. In a High/Scope classroom the adult-child interaction is of utmost importance. Teachers listen to children and guide their lessons on children’s interests and abilities.
