High School District 230 is revolutionizing English learner education by blending classrooms—pairing English learners with native speakers and adding a second teacher to guide the mix. Early results show faster language gains and stronger test scores, driven by a surge in non-English-speaking students. After a decade-long review and two years of planning, the model launches this August at Carl Sandburg and Amos Alonzo Stagg High Schools, joining Victor J. Andrew High School already using the approach. The district is also overhauling curriculum and training teachers this summer to ensure consistency across all three schools. This isn’t a quick fix—it’s an evolving, student-centered strategy designed to boost language skills while enriching classrooms with cultural diversity.
