High/Scope Step by Step: Lesson Plans for the First 30 Days

by Beth Marshall

Jump-start active learning in your preschool program with 30 days of ready-to-use High/Scope lesson plans! Teachers who are new to the curriculum will find that High/Scope Step by lesson Plans for the First 30 Days gets them up and running with six weeks of plans right at their fingertips. For seasoned High/Scope teachers, the book provides a ready source of new ideas for individual activities and/or daily plans to fit the needs of their group of children at a particular point in time. The plans are designed to be used sequentially, with increasing complexity across the six weeks reflecting both children's developmental gains at the beginning of a preschool program and adults' growing understanding of High/Scope. In addition to modeling High/Scope daily planning, the book provides reproducible planning forms to assist teachers in developing their own lesson plan ideas based on the High/Scope active participatory learning model. The book is ideal for new teachers who want to get started with High/Scope in the classroom; experienced High/Scope teachers looking for new lesson plan ideas; administrators, mentors, and teacher-trainers looking for ways to provide professional development and to get teachers up and running quickly with High/Scope; and teachers working alone with little time to plan and few professional development opportunities,
