For 13 years, Scottdale has used the High/Scope educational curriculum as a set of guiding principles and practices. The curriculum guides teachers as they work with and care for children and adapt to the special needs and conditions of each group. “Active learning” the belief that children learn best through active experiences with people, materials, events and ideas, rather than through direct teaching or sequenced exercises is a central tenet of the High/Scope approach for all age levels.
The classrooms, materials and daily routines are based on the childrens age and development and are arranged to promote active involvement with people, materials, events and ideas. For example, classrooms are divided into interest areas organized around specific types of play, such as block play, art, house play, small toys, books, writing materials and (for older children) computers. Art and music are part of every day. Activities help children develop language and logical abilities that are the foundation for later learning. A central element of each day is the plan-do-review sequence in which children make a plan, carry it out, and then reflect on the results. The daily routine includes times for small- and large-group experiences and outdoor play.
The High/Scope approach has been used successfully in a wide range of early childhood settings in the United States and abroad.
