Evanston High School Tackles Achievement Gap
2008
I dove into the world of education with this story on Evanston Township High School (3,000 students!) and their new plan to address the minority/equity/opportunity achievement gap in public schools.

To listen to the story - which aired on Chicago Public Radio's show Eight Forty-Eight and All Things Considered - click here.

It was fascinating to step into a high school for the first time since I've graduated from my own and see what's changed in public education. From what it looks like - Evanston is making some really exciting moves that could result in some real change. They're focusing on building better relationships and trying to tackle the emotional issues that can often impede success in school.
