Congratulations to the many early childhood educators who have completed HighScope training! 

 

Through this ongoing work, hundreds of teachers and program leaders have strengthened their skills to support high-quality learning experiences for young children.

​

To date, nearly 800 early childhood professionals have completed 120 hours of training in the HighScope Preschool curriculum, and more than 175 teachers and directors have participated in Infant Toddler HighScope training.

 

HighScope Preschool is offered at Ivy Tech during the Fall and Spring semesters, with additional community-based offerings throughout the year including in Spanish, ensuring Spanish-speaking educators have access to the complete curriculum and can participate fully in high-quality professional learning opportunities.

​

For educators new to HighScope looking for an introduction, we also offer HighScope Lite, a one-day course held each summer. This training serves as an onramp to the full HighScope curriculum, providing a practical overview of the approach and helping educators decide if they would like to pursue the full training pathway.

​

Financial support is available for educators pursuing HighScope training. Scholarships to Ivy Tech are offered through the T.E.A.C.H. program for Pre-K early childhood educators, and through the Early Years Count (EYC) Education Initiative of the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County for educators working in Early Childhood Assessment Project (ECAP) programs.
