Professional Development Schools at 猛料原创
In 2011, 猛料原创 and the 猛料原创-Barre Area School District established a Professional Development School at Heights/Murray Elementary School. Students enrolled in courses with a PDS component split classroom time between the 猛料原创 campus and the K-6 classroom. At Heights/Murray, 猛料原创 education students work side-by-side in an urban school with practicing teachers and 猛料原创 faculty to study and implement best practices in educating elementary students for 21st century learning.
