Let’s
explore
POTENTIAL
Together.
How does one increase the
potential of kids? We know. It’s
what we’ve been studying for
more than 50 years. We’ve created
a curriculum based on fulfilling
the promise of providing more
than just better education — it’s
fulfilling the bigger promise of
better lives. We have proven
that early childhood education
changes the trajectory of lives,
communities, and our nation.
But more than that — we know
the methodologies and tools
that give our children the very
best opportunity at long-term
success. By engaging. Playing.
Encouraging. And learning what
success means.
This catalog contains the tools
and elements that help make
up the HighScope Curriculum.
We invite you to explore and
see all we offer. Combined with
training and the full HighScope
philosophy, it is the only program
that has proven it can literally
change lives, forever.

The HighScope Curriculum
The HighScope Infant-Toddler Curriculum includes defined teaching practices that enable adults
to create effective classrooms where children learn through active participatory learning. In
addition to providing an engaging learning environment and using a comprehensive curriculum
model, HighScope’s unique incorporation of responsive individual routines, conflict resolution
skills, positive attachment relationships, and adult scaffolding produces an early learning
environment where all children can thrive.
The HighScope Classroom
Infant-Toddler | Curriculum
Implementing the HighScope Infant-Toddler Curriculum begins with a well-organized,
thoughtfully planned classroom and development of a responsive routine that addresses each
child’s individual needs, preferences, and temperaments. These materials will help you to arrange
your classroom and create daily lesson plans with a focus on individual needs, active participatory
learning, and meaningful adult scaffolding strategies throughout your daily routine.
Child Assessment
HighScope uses authentic assessment to measure children’s growth and development. Teachers
generate brief written descriptions, or anecdotes, that objectively describe children’s activities. They
use these anecdotes, along with the tool’s scoring and reporting features, to analyze children’s develop
ment, plan activities to support continued development, track individual and overall classroom
progress, and exchange meaningful developmental information with families about their child.
Professional Learning
One of the most effective ways to further your staff’s understanding of the HighScope InfantToddler Curriculum is participation in HighScope training. HighScope provides training to
administrators, curriculum specialists, teachers, and child care providers.
These materials are an excellent addition to any infant and toddler classroom.

Curriculum
How do you provide care for your youngest while nurturing
their growth and development?
The answer is often found in the curriculum. The curriculum you choose and how you implement it determine the
quality of care for your infants and toddlers. Choosing a curriculum that fits the needs of your children, their families,
and, of course, you, is an important decision that requires careful consideration.
Research based and child focused, the HighScope Infant-Toddler Curriculum uses a carefully designed process of
learning through discovery, called active participatory learning. During active learning, infants and toddlers learn
about the world around them by exploring and playing. Learning and development are anchored by long-term, trusting
relationships with caregivers, who are always close at hand to support children, and consistent yet flexible routines.
The HighScope Infant-Toddler Curriculum is a part of HighScope’s complete, research-based system of early childhood
education and care. Components include:
• Proven teaching practices to support children’s growth and learning
• Curriculum content for infants and toddlers (ages 0–3)
• Comprehensive training to help caregivers implement the program effectively
• Assessment tools to evaluate and plan for children’s learning and to measure program quality

Child Assessment &
Authentic Child Assessment for Any Age
COR Advantage is a birth-to-kindergarten child assessment tool that assists teachers in supporting
children at every developmental level. COR Advantage puts into practice the most up-to-date
knowledge about brain development and behavior. The younger children are, the more difficult
it is to accurately and effectively assess them. One way to overcome this challenge is to create an
environment in which caregivers collect information about young children across a longer time
period, in a natural setting. COR Advantage works with any developmentally appropriate early
childhood curriculum.
Each day, teachers or caregivers generate brief written descriptions, or anecdotes, that objectively
describe these very young children’s behavior. They use these notes with the tool’s scoring and
reporting features to evaluate children’s development and then to plan activities to help individual,
and the center as a whole, make progress.
Learn more about COR Advantage on p. 42 or visit highscope.org/assessment.

The HighScope Preschool Curriculum includes defined teaching practices that enable adults to
create engaging classrooms where children learn through active participatory learning. HighScope’s
unique incorporation of the plan-do-review process, support in developing conflict resolution skills,
and focus on adult scaffolding produces an early learning environment where all children can thrive.
Implementing the HighScope Preschool Curriculum begins with a well-organized, thoughtfully
planned classroom and incorporation of the unique components of the HighScope daily routine,
including plan-do-review and group times. HighScope classroom materials will help you to arrange
your classroom and create daily lesson plans with a focus on active participatory learning and
meaningful adult scaffolding strategies.
Curriculum Content
The HighScope Preschool Curriculum addresses children’s development through eight content areas.
Each one includes key developmental indicators (KDIs), or specific learning experiences encompassed
by the HighScope Curriculum. By supporting and gently extending children’s learning within the
content areas, teachers ensure that each child is learning and growing in all areas of development.
Child Assessment
Preschool | Curriculum
HighScope uses authentic assessment to measure children’s growth and development. Teachers generate brief notes that objectively describe children’s activities and analyze these notes with the tool’s
scoring and reporting features. They use the resulting information on children’s development to plan
activities, track individual and group progress, and exchange meaningful information with families.
Family Engagement
HighScope views families and teachers as partners in promoting children’s learning. Family
involvement benefits children, parents, teachers, and the program as a whole.
One of the most effective ways to further your staff’s understanding of the HighScope Curriculum
is participation in HighScope training. HighScope provides training to administrators, curriculum
specialists, teachers, and child care providers.

Letter Links
Letter Links is a literacy learning tool that builds on children’s natural interest in reading and
writing their own names. Each child’s name is paired with an image for a word that has the
same first sound as his or her name — the name and image together are called a letter link. As
they use letter links throughout the classroom day, children learn the alphabetic principle and
develop phonological awareness and other literacy abilities. Our letter links resources provide
reproducible letter links images, teaching strategies, and a summary of the research behind this
approach. Also included are 25 fun-filled learning activities. Available in print and web versions.

A key to creating a reputable family child care program is meeting the level of quality expected
by families and by yourself! The Family Child Care PQA is a validated instrument designed to
measure program quality and identify provider training needs. It consists of standards for best
practices that can be scored by outside raters or as a self-assessment tool. Each component is
designed to evaluate your program on a variety of aspects of the HighScope approach so that you
can identify which areas need improvement and which ones are being implemented correctly.

of Program Quality
Assessment (PQA)
tools are validated
rating instruments designed to measure the quality of
early childhood programs and identify staff training
needs. The Preschool PQA, the Infant-Toddler PQA,
and the Family Child Care PQA are available in both
online and print versions.
PQA assessment is based on standards for best practices,
rated on a five-point scale.
Each PQA gives an accurate and authentic picture
of a program’s strengths and needs for improvement,
providing information on a multitude of quality factors
in specific terms that teachers and caregivers can
understand and use.
The Preschool and Infant-Toddler PQAs also look at
agency-wide factors that influence what happens in the
care setting:
The instruments may be used by teachers and caregivers
as a self-assessment, or by administrators and outside
agencies (such as a statewide Quality Rating and
Improvement System) to evaluate individual classrooms
or programs.
All three tools assess factors of the classroom or family
child care home that directly impact children, including:
• Learning environment
• Adult-child interactions
• Daily routine
• Safety considerations
• Parent involvement and family services
• Staff qualifications and staff development
• Program management
Each instrument has an administration manual that
explains how the tool is used and provides results
from the validation studies.
Online version includes automated scoring and reporting features; licenses are available through an annual
subscription and provide options to conduct multiple assessments during the program year.

Survey Design and
Implementation
Our experienced CEEE professionals can
assist you in designing your evaluation
based on your program’s goals and budget.
Many funders require a clear and logical
description of how a program is designed
to work, often called a program’s Theory
of Change. We will help you identify
your Theory of Change and represent it
graphically as a logic model. Or, if you
prefer, we can provide feedback and
recommendations for revising an existing
logic model.
A well-designed survey will ensure that
you obtain meaningful data that you can
put to work immediately to improve your
program. Our CEEE team has years of
experience designing and distributing
surveys that capture the specific
information a program needs to design
an improvement plan or evaluate their
impact. We can support you with highly
secure online survey software as well as
phone or e-mail surveys, depending on
your audience and your program’s needs.
Performance and Outcomes
Measurement
Once a program’s goals and outcomes
are identified, it is critical that you select
the correct instruments to assess your
program’s performance and demonstrate
its impact. We are experts in determining
the right tools to measure a program’s
implementation and/or impacts, and
can even help to develop or customize
instruments for data collection in pursuit
of your measurement goals.
Assessment and Data
Interpretation Training
To ensure the validity of your data, your
assessment tools must be utilized in a
consistent way. We help you choose, or
develop, the right instruments to measure
performance and outcomes, guide you
in the accurate use of the instruments
and train you to interpret assessment
results to inform and promote program
quality improvement.

implications, we provide support to
highlight those implications and suggest
next steps.
Data Management
An effective data system is easy to
administer, reduces unneeded paperwork,
eliminates redundancy, and readily
retrieves information in a format that
meets your needs. We will help you choose
