  4. Adult-Child Interaction Adults • Have strategies for interacting with children. • Encourage children’s efforts rather than praise them indiscriminately. • Help children take a problem-solving approach to resolving conflicts.

  5. Learning Environment • Classroom organized into interest areas. • Materials varied, show respect for individual differences, stored where children can reach them. • Teacher influences the flow of activities while giving children opportunities for active learning.

  6. The Daily Routine Components • Plan-do-review times • Cleanup time • Snack time • Small-group time • Large-group circle time • Outside time Gives teachers and children opportunities to influence learning.

  7. Child Assessment Adults • Work as a team on child assessment. • Take notes daily on episodes of children’s behavior. • Plan next steps with children daily. • Assess children’s development with the HighScope Child Observation Record, found valid and reliable in Head Start.

HighScope Perry Preschool Study • Comparison 1: program versus no program groups • Comparison 2: HighScope vs. Nursery School vs. Direct Instruction preschool curriculums • 191 study participants living in poverty and at risk of school failure • Randomly assigned to initially similar groups • Data collected annually from 3 to 11, and at 14, 15, 19, 27, and 40, 8 % missing

  9. Comparison 1:Major findings over time
