| Description: |
| The Niagara Charter School will serve students in grades K-4 in its first year of operation. By its fifth year, the school will serve 384 students in grades K-8. The school will use the Expeditionary Learning-Outward Bound instructional model (ELOB). ELOB is a comprehensive school reform model that stresses project-based learning, the application of theory in practical situations, character development, community, and stewardship. ELOB will provide on-site and on-going professional development, technical assistance, and materials and texts for the professional development. ELOB has five “core practices”—learning expeditions, active pedagogy, school culture and character, leadership and school improvement, and structures—and ten design principles. It employs cross-curricular, theme-based instruction, arts and technology integration, and also emphasizes reading and writing across the curriculum. |
