Our Values
HighScope’s work for more than 50 years has evolved to best serve the needs of educators, policymakers, families, and communities. But our values have remained constant.
These are our shared values
Evidence-backed practices
We seek evidence on what works in supporting children, educators, and their families.
Equity for all children
Every child, no matter their circumstances, should be given every opportunity to grow into their best selves.
High-quality education
We know, based on decades of research, that nothing changes the trajectory of opportunity more than a high-quality early childhood education.
Teachers as leaders
We believe in the power and ability of the teacher to change the trajectory of a child’s life.
Strength in community
We are committed to working with communities to create better futures for our children.
