Auburn Day School is launching a STEM Lab School — where children learn through play and future educators learn to teach.

​Auburn Day School is becoming the area’s first five-star Lab School!
​As a demonstration site, we welcome interns, student teachers, and visitors to observe and share best practices.
​Our new Makers’ Space will spark hands-on STEM learning for children and inspire future educators.

For educators: 

• We welcome practicum students, interns, and visiting teachers to observe, practice, and reflect within our classrooms.
• ​You will participate in lesson study cycles, where you watch expert teachers model best practices and then try strategies with coaching feedback.
• Our Lab School provides structured observation guides so you can connect theory to practice in real time.
• ​Educators gain access to STEM play toolkits and sample lesson plans to take back to their own classrooms.
• Each visit includes time for guided reflection and conversation about adapting strategies for diverse learning communities.
• ​We also partner with universities to offer field placements and research opportunities for emerging educators.
• By the end of your experience, you’ll leave with replicable models of high-quality, play-based STEM learning to share in your own school or program.
