High/Scope Curriculum Overview
{"Image DocumentName": "High/Scope Curriculum Overview", "Image ImageDescription": "Adult-child interaction. Learning environment. Daily routine. Assessment. Adult-child interaction- We establish a safe and caring setting where children can be happy and busy pursuing their interests and learning. We also share control of all learning experiences and encourage children to solve problems with materials, turn to other children for help, work together, and resolve conflicts together. Learning environment- Furniture and equipment in the High/Scope setting are arranged and labeled in several clearly laid out and easy-to-see interest areas, such as the block area, house area, art area, and toy area. Labels are marked with symbols that are easily understood by children. This room arrangement allows for children to independently find, use, and return the materials . The labels and symbols form the foundation on which children can build skills in reading, writing, and number. Children also spend time outside every day experiencing all the physical and sensory properties (sights, sounds, smells, and textures) of the natural environment. Taken together, the indoor and outdoor environments provide children with a full range of learning opportunities. Daily routine - I will talk about this later on. Assessment- We regularly write down factual notes about each child\u2019s behaviors, experiences, and interests. We use the Child Observation Record for Ages 2 \u00bd to 6, to assess development. Based on these careful and direct observations, we plan experiences that will encourage children\u2019s growth and development. We also use these notes to show you their progress and to assist you in supporting and expanding the classroom learning at home. I test your children twice a year. At the beginning of the year to know their levels and at the end to see how much progress they have made. We also evaluate ourselves and our program regularly by using a High/Scope Program Quality Assessment for Preschool.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
