THE RESEARCH. THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI).

This year marks 60 years since the HighScope Educational Research Foundation launched its pioneering longitudinal Perry Preschool Study Project, conducted from 1962–1967. The study findings proved that high-quality early education makes a significant difference in young children’s early development, with long-term positive effects well into adulthood.

The HighScope Curriculum, developed out of this study 50 years ago, still facilitates independent, creative thinking in preschool children through active participatory learning — a process in which teachers and children are partners in shaping the learning experience. Young children pursue their own interests, initiate activities, explore ideas and materials, and have direct, hands-on learning experiences as they construct new knowledge of the world around them.

Are you seeking long-term significant developmental goals for the children in your program?

Early Childhood Educators and Leaders — Welcome to the 50th HighScope International Conference!

Honoring Our Past, Forging Our Future

Welcome to the 50th HighScope International Conference!

We are delighted to embark on the next three days of active learning with our in-person and virtual attendees at the first hybrid HighScope Conference. This conference season marks a year of milestones for the HighScope Foundation: not only will we celebrate 50 years since the first ever HighScope Conference, which started as a small gathering of passionate educators at the Hutchinson House (HighScope’s headquarters) in Ypsilanti, Michigan, but it also marks our official 50th Anniversary Celebration Gala, an event which was postponed in 2020 and will finally be held on Thursday, May 12, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the HighScope Foundation.

2022 also marks the 60th anniversary of the Perry Preschool Study, the groundbreaking research that started it all. To mark this occasion, we are overjoyed to host Evelyn Moore and Louise Derman-Sparks, two of the original Perry Preschool educators, in our opening keynote session, “Teachers as Researchers,” moderated by Dr. Jennifer Keys Adair, who has been facilitating our Segregation by Experience Roundtable series this past year.

We also welcome Sonia Manzano, one of the key figures in early educational history, and one of the “25 Most Influential Latinos,” through her role as Maria on Sesame Street. Throughout her life, Manzano has been a trailblazer and a role model for generations of young children, and we hope her inspirational luncheon keynote will move you to recall the passion and drive that fuels you on your journey as an educator.

Finally, as part of our 50-year investment in the necessity of social-emotional learning in the early childhood classroom, we are excited to have Dr. Bruce D. Perry as our closing keynote speaker.

His decades-long career in researching behavior, child trauma, and attachment will unite academic research and hands-on classroom practices to best care for young children developing a sense of self, community, and compassion.

Our keynote speakers have been selected with care to inspire, invigorate, educate, and empower through their life experiences, research, and storytelling. We hope these special speakers will, each in their own way, deepen your connection to your work in the classroom.

The heart of the very first HighScope Conference centered around you—educators, administrators, coaches, and curriculum specialists—in a room together, sharing ideas and creating energy and excitement in each other to forge ahead. Thank you for your support and commitment during our 50-year journey. I applaud your dedication to active learning and your choice to invest in yourself as a professional and a lifelong learner. Being here, whether virtually or in-person, with all these passionate educators, feels like a triumph of resilience and joy after many months of facing unprecedented setbacks and challenges. Together, we can honor our past and the decisions that brought us here today, and forge a new future of the early childhood profession that includes and celebrates every teacher, family, and child.

Alejandra Barraza, Ph.D., President, HighScope Educational Research Foundation

March 24, 2022 Dear Friends: A thousand welcomes!

Greetings and welcome to the 50th Annual HighScope International (Hybrid) Conference on Wednesday, May 11 – Friday, May 13, 2022, at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center, where this year’s theme is, “Honoring our Past, Forging our Future”!

This event attracts on average, 1,200 early childhood administrators, educators, and practitioners from around the globe. And HighScope’s theme celebrates the early childhood education industry and recognizes the often unsung, yet essential work of the many resilient women who dominate the early childhood education industry.

Thank you to HighScope Educational Research Foundation for your outstanding work which is particularly relevant within the City of Detroit. All children have a right to high-quality education.

And HighScope Educational Research Foundation’s holistic approach in the research and development of early education could be the difference in providing our children with the solid foundation they need for educational success in the future.

On behalf of the City of Detroit, I commend the members of the HighScope Educational Research Foundation, for the critical work that you do in our community and across the nation. Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and supporters who helped produce and make the 2022 HighScope International Conference a success. Please accept my wishes for another successful event and incredible year! Again, many thanks to you for all that you do.

Sincerely,

Mike Duggan, Mayor, City of Detroit

Moderator

Jennifer Keys Adair, PhD

Room

Renaissance Ballroom, Level 4 & Virtual

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the groundbreaking HighScope Perry Preschool Study project launch. To recognize its significant impact on the early childhood education industry, Evelyn Moore and Louise Derman-Sparks, two of the original classroom educators during the study, will share the experience, reach, and legacy of the study, as well as why they devoted their careers to improving outcomes for children in underserved communities.

This conversation will be moderated by Dr. Jennifer Keys Adair.

Dr. Evelyn Moore is the founder and Executive Director Emeritus of the National Black Child Development Institute. For 38 years she led NBCDI and constantly worked to improve and advance early education for young African American children. Moore continues to defend and support the need for universal childcare which includes access to high-quality early childhood education for all children regardless of race, economic level, or other identifiers.

Dr. Louise Derman-Sparks has worked for over 60 years on issues of diversity and social justice as a preschool teacher at the Perry Preschool Project, child-care center director, human development faculty member at Pacific Oaks College, and activist. She is author and coauthor of several books, including Anti-Bias Education for Young Children and Ourselves, and What if All the Kids are White? Anti-Bias/Multicultural Education for Young Children and Families, and of numerous articles. She speaks, conducts workshops, and consults on anti-bias education with children and adults throughout the United States and internationally. Louise is now retired as a professor emerita.

Dr. Jennifer Keys Adair is Associate Professor of Curriculum & Instruction and Director of the Agency and Young Children Research Collective at The University of Texas at Austin. She is a cultural anthropologist and former preschool teacher who works with parents, teachers, administrators and young children to challenge white-centered institutions and racist “scientific” ideas that too often govern early childhood education. She is a co-author of Segregation by Experience: Agency, Racism, and Learning in the Early Grades.

Hybrid Session Luncheon Keynote: From the Bronx to Sesame Street With Sonia Manzano Presenter

Sonia Manzano

Room

Renaissance Ballroom, Level 4 & Virtual

Sonia Manzano, best known for playing “Maria” on Sesame Street, will share her inspirational life story, focusing on the perseverance and courage that eventually led her to a role in educational and television history that would impact millions of adults and children alike.

For over 40 years, Sonia Manzano inspired, educated, and delighted children and families as "Maria" on Sesame Street. Named among the “25 Greatest Latino Role Models Ever” by Latina Magazine, she broke ground as one of the first Hispanic characters on national television. Throughout her career, she has continued to contribute to enriching diversity on television, on the stage, and in the educational realm.

She was twice nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Performer in a Children’s Series, and is the author of Becoming Maria: Love and Chaos in the South Bronx, Coming Up Cuban, A World Together, and additional publications.

Over the last 30 years, Dr. Perry has been an active teacher, clinician, and researcher in children’s mental health and the neurosciences, holding a variety of academic positions. His work on the impact of abuse, neglect and trauma on the developing brain has impacted clinical practice, programs, and policy across the world. Dr. Perry is the Principal of the Neurosequential Network, Senior Fellow of The Child Trauma Academy, and a Professor (Adjunct) in the Departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago and the School of Allied Health, College of Science, Health and Engineering, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Victoria Australia. Dr. Perry is the author, with Maia Szalavitz, of The Boy Who Was Raised As A Dog, a bestselling book based on his work with maltreated children and Born For Love: Why Empathy is Essential and Endangered. Dr. Perry’s most recent book, What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing, co-authored with Oprah Winfrey, was released in 2021.
