An innovative approach to education comes to Shelton

SHELTON — All 398 seventh-graders at Shelton Intermediate School faced the same task: take sides and successfully argue the position of patriots or loyalists in the American Revolutionary War. Most would spend three 50-minute social studies classes researching and writing, using laptops, audio tapes, hand outs and videos to compile evidence. The 186 students who are part of the new School of Innovation tackled the assignment differently. Using the same materials, the School of Innovation — with its flexible schedule and team taught approach — pulled off the task in a single day and however the 12-year-old students felt most comfortable. For student Nick Woods, that meant curling up under a classroom’s corner sink.
