Dr. Ken Wallace, Superintendent at Maine Township High School District 207 discusses learning structures that his district put into place. Since the turn of the 21st century, his school district has seen its poverty tripled, with two of the three high schools transitioning from majority high schools to majority minority high schools. Through the change, they have improved every metric for their students, including standardized test scores. Regardless of where you are on the continuum of this journey, you can begin now and find a way to not only handle what's going on today in your classrooms, but really thrive in those classrooms.
