Science Leadership Initiative
Our School PartnersAbout Our School Partners
Schools in the Science Leadership School Partners Program reflect the diversity of schools across the Chicago area, from Chicago Public Schools to parochial schools to suburban public schools.
All schools enter the process from different perspectives, but through this process each of them have prioritized and advanced science teaching and learning. They all have enhanced their culture for science through the collaboration of cross-disciplinary teams and the creation and implementation of action plans.
