Figure: Circle diagram with 5 concentric circles divided into 4 segments. Center circle reads "Active Learning. Initiative. Key Experiences." Next circle has "Daily Routine" written in the lower right segment. The third circle has "Learning Environment" written in the lower left segment. The fourth circle says "Adult-Child Interaction" in the top right segment and the fifth circle says "Assessment" in the top left segment.

Basic Principles

The High Scope Wheel of Learning (Figure 2.5) represents the curriculum concept visually, indicating the four elements controlled by adults (environment, assessment, adult-child interactions, and daily routine) working to achieve active, hands-on learning for children.

Important goals for children include:

  • Thinking about actions and interactions
  • Problem solving
  • Self-directed learning (Goffin & Wilson, 2001; Epstein, Schweinhart & McAdoo, 1996)

High Scope identifies “key developmental indicators” across areas of the curriculum (formerly “Key Experiences”). Table 2.4 lists the key indicators for the Infant/Toddler and Preschool Curricula included in the current version of High Scope.
