HighScope: Active and personalised learning

The HighScope curriculum is an educational model based on active learning, where children are the protagonists of their own learning process. In this approach, students explore, investigate and solve problems by interacting with the world around them. In this way, teachers are guides who plan practical activities and stimulate children’s curiosity.

This model fosters integral development, promoting cognitive, social and emotional skills. In addition, it adapts to the pace of each child, respecting their particular interests and needs, promoting an inclusive and meaningful education.

Plan - Do - Review

The Plan-Do-Review is an especially effective time for teachers to observe, document and support children’s approaches to learning. Teachers then use this information about individual children’s learning to inform their plan for the next day and beyond.

The Plan Do Review approach is central to the HighScope curriculum as it structures children’s learning. It allows students to plan activities according to their interests and goals.

Do - Hacer

Once the students have planned, they proceed to carry out the activities. This process activates their curiosity and provides them with opportunities to explore, experiment and learn hands-on.

Review - Revisar

After executing the activities, students reflect on their experience. This cycle fosters autonomy, critical thinking and self-regulation, essential skills for their holistic development and future success.

How do we implement HighScope in our school?

Through a variety of activities, children are the protagonists of their own educational process, exploring and discovering as they interact with their environment. We will see examples of planning, implementation and reflection, where teachers guide students through each stage of the Plan Do Review. This practice not only fosters autonomy and critical thinking, but also helps children develop social skills essential for their holistic growth. Don’t miss it!
