Completely revised and updated, this manual is still the most complete guide to the High/Scope Preschool Curriculum and a classic in the field that no early childhood professional should be without. Written for teachers, administrators, teacher-trainers, college students, and professors, the manual describes indispensable strategies for effective early childhood education. The Third Edition reflects High/Scope's new curriculum content framework based on 58 key developmental indicators (KDIs) organized in categories that closely parallel state and professional early childhood standards.
Topics include planning the physical setting; establishing a consistent daily routine that includes plan-do-review and small- and large- group times; using adult scaffolding and support strategies to help children acquire essential skills and concepts; establishing family partnerships; and team planning. The book explores in depth the new KDIs that make up the High/Scope curriculum content areas for preschoolers: approaches to learning; language, literacy, and communication; social and emotional development; physical development; mathematics; science and technology; social studies; and the arts.
This new edition reflects both the latest research on early learning and time-tested educational practices based on over 40 years of rigorous studies coupled with classroom innovation. Complete with photos, checklists, sample classroom plans, and real-life scenarios. Includes the latest findings of High/Scope's landmark Perry Preschool Study.
