Highscope Assessment Courses
Assess with Confidence
HighScope’s comprehensive assessment courses are designed by experts for both teachers and administrators to support the effective implementation of the HighScope assessment tools in early childhood programs.
Our APPROACH
Expert Coaches, Reliable Assessors
HighScope’s assessment courses provide educators with the skills they need to use HighScope’s assessment tools — COR Advantage, Classroom Coach, PQA, and the Ready School Assessment — with confidence. These observation-based tools allow early educators to gather evidence within children’s natural learning environment without interrupting the work of early childhood — children’s play. Expert instructors facilitate learners in reliably collecting and accurately scoring complete and objective evidence as they use HighScope’s assessment tools.
The course was very detailed in every aspect from the material shared to the feedback provided. I feel confident in completing the reliability test thanks to the support provided by the instructor.
