Lab
Lab provides students with time during the weekly schedule to work with their teachers individually or in small groups. The Laboratory also provides time to use the libraries and to locate other specialized resources to pursue topics, complete assignments, and enrich or remediate student learning.
Classes are grouped heterogeneously in most areas throughout the Middle School. Individual learning styles and skill levels are recognized by grouping within the classrooms, by expanding upon the Assignment to augment learning, and by providing enrichment and support through the Laboratory.
The Dalton Plan - particularly Lab and Assignment - helps students learn skills that include:
The ability to set goals and to determine priorities consistent with the stated course objectives and the student's own progress; to establish habits conducive to learning independently or with others; and to follow a schedule that meets expectations for both short and long term projects.
The ability to define, locate, and use resources external to the classroom (e.g. library, studio, and laboratory materials and methods, primary and secondary documents, visual materials, and information available through various information systems including computers and digital displays); and to combine data obtained from such sources with information shared in the classroom.
