Introductory Workshops

High/Scope is a unique, high quality approach to early years learning. It is widely used in the UK by over 20,000 practitioners. High/Scope UK provides a range of courses for early years practitioners who are interested in developing best practice but do not necessarily wish to use the High/Scope Approach.

Our range of "Quality Counts" courses have been devised in response to recent developments in early years education and to reflect current areas of interest among practitioners . The courses draw on thirty years of research, practice and training experience.

Standard courses vary in length from half a day to two days. We can adjust the duration, focus etc of any course to match your requirements. The courses make ideal workshop presentations for in-service training, conferences etc and they can take place during the week or at weekends.

The following courses give practitioners the opportunity to develop their professional expertise in a range of areas. The topics include:
