ABSTRACT
A High/Scope setting will initially look very similar to any good quality early years setting and in this chapter we will go through the unique differences in how it is set up and used by both adults and children. As outlined in Chapter 1 the High/Scope approach follows five basic principles that underpin the whole approach, illustrated in the Wheel of Learning. At its core is active; the belief that active learning is essential for the development of all children and adults is deep seated within the approach. It is learning that happens when children interact with objects, people and events around them and build new understanding from them. No one can have or experience things for another; only individuals can have and learn from experiences for themselves.
