Nursery World - Professor Kathy Sylva

Professor Kathy Sylva from Oxford University's department of education has become a patron of High/Scope UK. The High/Scope approach has been used in the UK since the early 1980s. In its 'plan-do-review' approach, children express their intentions, engage purposefully in activities and then review what they have been doing with an early years practitioner. Professor Sylva presented certificates to the latest group of endorsed High/Scope trainers at the organisation's annual conference last month. Joan Norris, High/Scope UK director, said, 'We are delighted she has agreed to become our patron as she is such a strong advocate for quality in the early years.'
