Supports for Students

21st Century Learning Skills

District 15's commitment to a technology-rich learning environment enables students to engage, question, and create, fostering essential 21st-century skills like communication, collaboration, and creativity across cultural and digital divides. Embracing Dr. Michael Wesch's concept of being "knowledge-ABLE," we empower students to use technology for finding, analyzing, and evaluation information. This approach helps them make sense of the world, unlocking their passions and potential in a digital landscape.

Accelerated Academic Programs

Tailored instruction emphasizes independent and complex project management. Advanced Math and English courses challenge high-achieving students, preparing them for honors-level high school classes.

Academic Interventions

Students come to school with varying levels of readiness. Our commitment to daily instruction designed by staff in reading, math, science, and social studies ensures all learners are motivated, engaged, and growing to mastery. Specialized services are offered to students in need of additional support to reach proficiency. Work is ongoing to ensure resources and teaching methods meet diverse student needs and align with Illinois Learning Standards.

Mental Health & Socio-Emotional Learning

Teachers incorporate vital skills like self-awareness, emotional management, friendship building, conflict resolution, and responsible decision-making into lessons. Our teachers are equipped with the tools to build students' academic capacity while validating and affirming home language and culture. We are committed to creating school communities where all learners feel safe, supported, and connected.

Student Services

Inclusive education means our services address a range of needs, including special education, health services, and support for unhoused families. 

Multilingual Services & Supports

Our dual language programs include a robust continuum of services that focus on enhancing English proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing while also supporting native language mastery. Our Spanish Dual Language program helps students develop bilingualism, biliteracy, and cross-cultural competencies.
