KIPP Chicago: KIPP Create College Prep Middle School
Download ResourceTopics
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.
This Chicago middle school serving grades 5-8 builds on the KIPP academic model by blending instructional technology with high-quality teaching methods. The technology is a tool that allows a single instructor and a single classroom to serve the individual needs of a diverse student body. In "Power Hour" housed within a flexible Learning Lab space, students use videos, tutorials, and interactive content to practice key competencies on their own and in teams based on an individual learning plan.
