Product Description
Product Description
The updated chapters include information on phonemic awareness and preschool reading, additional references, the latest Perry Preschool research results, recent research relating to brain development, and a complete description of a consistent approach to problem solving. Written for early childhood practitioners and students, this manual presents essential strategies adults can use to make active learning a reality in their programs. Describes key components of the adult’s role: planning the physical setting and establishing a consistent daily routine; creating a positive social climate; and using High/Scope’s 58 “key experiences” in child development to understand and support young children. Other topics include family involvement, daily team planning, interest areas, appropriate materials, the plan-do-review process, small- and large-group times. Offers numerous anecdotes, photographs, illustrations, real-life scenarios, and practical suggestions for adults. Reflects High/Scope’s current research findings and over 30 years of experience.

Format:Paperback
This fantastic guide to High/Scope has been written by one of it's main founders, David Weikart. David, through his High/Scope process, has given young children around the world the ability to make decisions, solve problems and be independent. If you work with young children and want to know about how High/Scope works and why it works so well then this book will become your bible. It is a warts n' all look into the philosophy behind the High/Scope system, and how you can use it effectively in a child care or school setting. 'Educating Young Children' helped me to understand that children do not become successful, happy and caring human beings by sitting at desks all day writing on worksheets, learning Maths this and English that, but by taking control of their own lives, discovering the world through play and having fun!
I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

The Main Guidebook For Renowned ECE Curriculum
26 Sep 2004
Format:Paperback
Flipping through the chapters in this book will inform you about the reason behind the popularity of High/Scope's early childhood curriculum: its efficient, paragonic planning. Planning makes a teacher...period. This curriculum teaches you to plan everything from the room arrangement to the assessment scheduling. Active learning incorporates itself into all aspects. The key experiences align almost like contact paper with most state-level educational standards for this age group. Please try it.
Amazing!
