The
High/ScopeŽ
Preschool Curriculum is the preschool
component of
High/Scope's
research-based system of education for the preschool and infant-toddler
years. The curriculum has a set of teaching practices for adults,
content areas for children, assessment tools to measure
teaching behaviors and children's progress, and a training model
to help adults use the curriculum to support children's development.
Preschool Curriculum Content.
In a
High/Scope
setting, children explore, ask and answer
questions, solve problems, and interact with classmates and adults as
they pursue their choices and plans. During this process they engage in
teacher- and child-initiated learning activities in 10 child
development content areas. Within each content area are "key
experiences" that foster developmentally important skills and
abilities. There are 58 key experiences for the preschool years. The 41
key experiences for the infant-toddler years are sometimes used in
High/Scope
preschool programs that also serve
developmentally or chronologically younger children. |
