This course is for practitioners who wish to apply the High/Scope Approach in their early years setting. This is a nine-day course, comprising eighteen 2.5- hour sessions. The sessions are spread over several months.

Training combines practical activities, videos and focused discussion and our trainers take opportunities to find out about the participants' early years setting, so that the training can be personalized. As part of the course, the trainer will visit the setting of the participants. This provides an opportunity to share the achievements of the participants so far and to discuss future development.

This course gives practitioners the opportunity to develop their professional expertise and to share ideas, issues and achievements in a supportive atmosphere.

The course covers all elements of the High/Scope Approach:
Active Learning, Learning Environment, Daily Routine, Plan-Do-Review, Small Group Time, Adult's Role (Supportive Styles of Interaction and Effective Communication), Child and Family, Key Experiences, Observation, Record Keeping, Accountability and Working in a Team.

The course requires participants to combine written assignments. These involve reading, making observations and implementing and assessing changes. Course members also write a course journal. All sessions must be attended.
