Pearson Innovation School
In July of 2009, HILA was selected as a Pearson innovation school because of the Academy’s unique approach to inclusive instruction and its commitment to differentiating learning so all students achieve at the highest level
At HILA, students will learn with Pearson’s print and digital curriculum programs, including the award-winning enVisionMATH, the first-of-its-kind elementary math curriculum that combines visual animation and next-generation technologies with a comprehensive foundation in math skills, and Scott Foresman Reading Street a preK-6 reading program designed to help teachers build readers through motivating and engaging literature, scientifically research-based instruction and a wealth of reliable teaching tools, including a full digital path. In addition, the company will provide ongoing professional development support – both through hands-on workshops and online – to ensure that HILA teachers are prepared to make the most of the core and supplemental curriculum products they will have in their classrooms.
The Pearson Foundation will also support the school both by documenting HILA’s approach to differentiated learning and instruction and by helping HILA share this approach with teachers and educators across Chicagoland.
