Training
The HighScope Portugal training you can do is guided by you. There is no one better than each one of us to know what we need and what motivates us in the moment we decide to invest in our education.
According to the program developed by HighScope Portugal, we propose a Step-by-Step training program.
HighScope Portugal’s training offers new perspectives on education and provides you with concrete “tools” to implement in your practice. Step by step you will feel that your day gains a different meaning, a different intentionality, and that children become a central part of the teaching-learning process.
The implementation of an active leaning approach is advocated for by the Education Ministry, such that there is no incompatibility with the Ministry’s program or proposed textbooks.
Theme suggestions to start your HighScope Portugal journey:
What the active learning approach proposes is a way of learning oriented towards today that is extremely attractive to children, as it brings together their desire to act with the construction of their knowledge.
HighScope Portugal has developed partnerships with some institutions or centers to take part in the process of improving the country’s education quality.
If you have a group of 10 or more people interested in training, contact HighScope Portugal so we can organize a workshop on your chosen topic.
To participate in some of the workshops you do not need to implement or want to implement the HighScope Portugal approach; several of the topics covered can be implemented in other approaches based on child’s development theory.
