“High/Scope Supporting the Child, the Family, the Community”: A Report of the Proceedings of the High/Scope Ireland Third Annual Conference, 12th October 2004, Newry, Northern Ireland

The third annual High/Scope Ireland Conference provided a forum for speakers workshop leaders and delegates from across Ireland, the UK, USA, Europe and South Africa to share their experiences of High/Scope in action. Research demonstrates that long term benefits for High/Scope participants include increased literacy rates, school success and employability as well as decreased levels of substance misuse, delinquent & criminal activity and teenage pregnancy. The Plan-Do-Review approach intrinsic to the High/Scope Daily Routine has application in a wide range of settings which transcend community, cultural, national and international boundaries.
