Summers-Clopper Curriculum Lab

The Summers-Clopper Curriculum Lab is located on the second floor of the Library.

As a teaching resource center it serves primarily students and faculty in the School of Education. It contains a wide variety of instructional materials for evaluation and utilization in the implementation of instructional plans for elementary and secondary education.

While some materials are appropriate for preschool through high school, most items are suitable for use in K-8. These materials include:

Children's literature - classics, award winners, poetry, folklore, picture books, big books

Non-fiction books to support the school curriculum

Textbooks and teacher's editions

Activity books, lesson plan books, bulletin board and pattern books, book bags, file folder games, and other manipulatives to be used with students

The lab is open and staffed by student assistants approximately 30 hours per week. At other times it is available for use by anyone with a Lynchburg College ID. Faculty may schedule orientation sessions in the Lab. Lab materials may be checked out by students, faculty, and staff. Children using the Lab should be accompanied by an adult.
