The Fowler Model Redesign Experience
The Fowler Model Redesign Experience
Come join the Fowler School District on Monday, November 25th as we offer a unique one day conference which incorporates live student engagement as well as conference style presentations on the Fowler Model.
Fowler School District is a Gemini I school in our second year of full implementation but have been “redesigning” for four years. Along with our staff and administration we have created what is known as The Fowler Model. It consists of the elements that we have put into practice that we believe helps to maximize the learning of each individual within our school. We are a small school district but believe that the principles and structures we have put into place can help to elicit conversation and reflection for all school sizes.
The “Experience” will begin promptly at 9:00 AM with a tour and interaction in the elementary that will touch on our district’s elementary leadership program, STEM lab, Bug Time intervention, and ELA classroom visit.
We will then proceed to the secondary building to view our Self Directed Learning (SDL) lab where you will see students engaged in their environment going through the goal setting process for the period. You will also view our core subject instruction that is delivered through project based learning (PBL). We will then allow you to view a mentoring session between a student and a teacher.
