High Scope Method
This method of class room setting was established by Dr. David Weikart, a Michigan educator, in 1970. As the name refers to the programme it is because of its highest purpose of the project and the futuristic mission of the project. The academic skill development, social and emotional development is emphasized in the programme. Some of the learning experiences of this method include putting everything in an order counting and telling time as well as more creative and linguistic activities such as singing and dictating stories.
This project as per history was initiated in 1962; some children were also involved (age group of
3 to 4 years old). There were teachers involved with the group of children and they spent few hours of the day at school. The teachers were attended with staff meetings and they were making home visits at the same for the respected children taken for the project (Morrison, 2010).
This programme was an independent not for profit research, includes development, training and public awareness. The main principal of the organization was to promote the learning and development of children worldwide from infancy through adolescence and to support and train educators and parents as they help children learn (Morrison, 2010).
The theory thus believes that we learn by mentally and physically
