Butler Lab School 60 at William Bell is inspired by the teaching approach from Reggio Emilia, Italy. At our school, children are encouraged to share, ask questions, and work together. Our teachers listen closely to children’s inquiries and provide opportunities for them to research those questions through project-based learning. We create hands-on experiences, inside and outside of the classroom, to explore children’s interests within our reading, writing, math, science, and social studies curriculum. We believe children express themselves in many ways, such as drawing, acting, music, and clay. We use these languages as ways for students to learn and share their thinking with others. Our classrooms have various work spaces, provocations, and high-quality materials to support our project-work. We encourage families to be a part of their child’s learning by inviting them into the classroom, on field trips, and to regular family nights. College of Education professors and students from Butler University also visit our school to collaborate with us on our teaching and learning practices.
