Kellman Corporate Comm. School
(Chicago, IL)
Joseph Kellman Corporation Community School is no stranger to innovation in the classroom. Last March, Kellman began a laptop program in which K-3 students share laptops and students in grades 4-8 are provided laptops of their own. Upon graduation, Kellman students receive a new laptop for use in high school. Halfway through the program’s first year, Kellman attributes an increase in student engagement and a decrease in disciplinary problems to the success of the program.
