The teachers use teaching strategies that connect with the Brain Compatible Elements: Trust, Enriched Environment, Choice, Adequate Time, and Meaningful Content. The power of brain research teamed with the practical knowledge of how to apply it in our school helps keep our instructional practices meaningful and connected to real world experiences. It integrates thematic instruction, as well as project and experience-based instructional practices. It models lifelong learning for our students and school community. As a part of our C.L.A.S.S. affiliation, we have been a training-site for four years (Fishback Creek) and have hosted the Brainworks Summer Institute for approximately 1000 teachers each summer. As a result of the Summer Institute, we have had hundreds of educators visit our school throughout the school year to see our instructional practices and programs. Teacher education programs from Butler University and University of Indianapolis include Fishback Creek visits as a part of their required program visitations. It is also highly endorsed by Purdue. |
