We’ve all had the experience of truly purposeful, authentic learning and know how valuable it is. Educators are taking the best of what we know about learning, student support, effective instruction, and interpersonal skill-building to completely reimagine schools so that students experience that kind of purposeful learning all day, every day.
At this 6-12 Chicago school that opened in Fall 2014, differentiation is key not just for the students – who access adaptive digital content and participate in diversified classroom rotations – but also for the teachers. Multiple teacher roles include expert teachers, resident teachers (those with limited experience), and instructional leads. The Foundations team hopes that the school, grounded in a rigorous college prep curriculum, creates learners who can perform as well as or better than their higher-income peers.
