Program Model
Program model: Station Rotation, Lab Rotation
Model description
In an average day, a groups of students will rotate through different activities such as logging into a Google Chromebook to brush up on individual reading skills, engaging in a hands-on experiment in science class, or working with a teacher-facilitator in a small group to tackle a word problem during math.
A critical component of each day is a “Power Hour” housed within a flexible Learning Lab space. There, students use high-quality videos, tutorials, and interactive content from providers such as ST Math, Typing Pal, and i-Ready to practice key competencies on their own and in teams based on an individual learning plan. Each student’s learning plan is developed following summer testing and refined throughout the year through ongoing assessment. The Learning Lab includes individual workstations, as well as areas for one-on-one support with teachers and small group remediation.
