Our College of Education faculty teach methods courses in all settings. Other Butler colleges lead school projects in science, ecology, theatre, creative writing, multicultural awareness and other subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Butler&#8217;s collaboration with a public school district is designed to improve local high school completion rates, and serve as a national model for advancing successful learning and engaged citizens. Additional partners representing foundations, corporations, individuals and the community also support these schools and their students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"acc-flex-container\">\n\t<div class=\"acc-title-container\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\">\n\t\t<button id='block_acf-block-69865a445c9a9-acc-row' class='acc-row' type='button' aria-expanded='false' aria-controls='block_acf-block-69865a445c9a9_acc-content-panel'>\n\t\t\t<div id='block_acf-block-69865a445c9a9-acc-title' class='acc-title'>\n\t\t\t\tIPS | Butler Partnership Lab School 60\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<img alt=\"\" id='block_acf-block-69865a445c9a9-acc-img' class='acc-icon' src='https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/education\/wp-content\/plugins\/butler-acf-blocks-new\/assets\/images\/nav_main_icon_open.png' \/>\n\t\t<\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div role=\"region\" aria-hidden='true'\n\t\tid='block_acf-block-69865a445c9a9-acc-content-panel' class='acc-panel' aria-labelledby=\"block_acf-block-69865a445c9a9-acc-row\">\n\t\t<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-overview-and-history\">Overview and History<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-history\">History<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/11\/2021\/11\/08102053\/labschool0915_073-200x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Outside view of IPS Lab School 60 with brick building facade and flower garden and stepping stones in front\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Butler University College of Education Lab School, September 30, 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In August 2010, Indianapolis Public Schools and Butler University signed an agreement to create the&nbsp;IPS\/Butler University Laboratory School, a public magnet elementary school housed in the district&#8217;s William A. Bell School No. 60, 3330 N. Pennsylvania Avenue. The school opened one year later for kindergarten and grade 1; adding a grade each year until ultimately the Lab School will serve grades K-8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Led by Dean Ena Shelley, Butler College of Education (COE) helped design the Lab School concept, and has worked with IPS to oversee its curriculum and assessment development. The curriculum is inspired by the practices and inspirations of Reggio Emilia, an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/myips.org\/chooseyourips\/elementary-and-middle-school-education-models\/reggio-inspired\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">educational philosophy<\/a>&nbsp;that Shelley has studied and helped introduce to numerous central Indiana schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, the COE and three local school districts interested in Reggio early education techniques formed the Indianapolis Reggio Collaborative. In 2009, the collaborative brought a traveling exhibit on Reggio education, &#8220;The Wonder of Learning: The Hundred Languages of Children,&#8221; to Indianapolis for a six-month stay in the Indiana State House. The exhibit, and workshops and discussions based on it, inspired creation of the IPS\/Butler Lab School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-important-partners\">Important Partners<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Cooperate and community partners are integral aspects of the Lab School success.&nbsp; For example, in 2011, Butler received a $100,000 grant from the PNC Foundation to allow St. Mary&#8217;s Child Center to offer preschool for children ages 3-5 at the Lab School. Later that year, the Roberts Family Foundation provided a $150,000 grant, also supporting the preschool program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, students in a Butler course on educational leadership won grants from Dow and the National Gardening Association to develop an Edible Schoolyard project at Lab School, which includes a vegetable garden and three chickens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-energized-early-learning\">Energized Early Learning<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Problem solving and instruction infused with the arts and science are hallmarks of the curriculum at the Lab School.&nbsp;Plus, it is truly a place to practice what we teach, for nearly all of the school\u2019s hold Butler education degrees. This provides an optimal learning space for both the K-8 children in the building as well as preservice candidates in the College of Education to learn from and with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-press\">Press<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>November 3, 2015:\u00a0<a aria-label=\"To make this website accessible to screen reader, Press combination of alt and 1 keys.
