Implementing The Lab School Club Model at the Academy In Manayunk

Authors

Abstract

 Central to The Lab School model is Sally Smith’s Club Methodology, the full immersion of students into a time period where historical information is learned through multi-sensory activities. While immersed, through the use of costumes and elaborately decorated classrooms, students are engaged in project-based learning. As the student’s language-based  learning disabilities are remediated throughout their day, Club provides an avenue for access to history through the arts as opposed to the traditional mode of text.
