Students are grappling with "White Noise" today, a book rich with satire and the complexity of an airborne toxic event.
Our students were so lucky today to listen to and ask questions of a range of environmental experts. Thank you to Lena Reynolds @ELPCenter; W. Robert Schultz III @activetrans; Linda Kurtz @GoGreenWilmette; Cam Davis @MWRDGC; Lynn McClure @NPCA
Big thank yous to the @SteppenwolfThtr and the Midwest Buddhist Temple for an enriching field trip today!
Unlike the real #Congress, our students collaborated and passed a bipartisan #immigration bill! @MikeJohnson @RepChipRoy @GOPMajorityWhip @RepMGP
We are so grateful to the @NTEdFoundation for all of their support!
(1/3) @NewTrier203 @IGSSers teachers developed a project in which students worked in groups outside school & put their learning to work by presenting to each of the Village Boards throughout the township as they advocated for affordable housing in their respective neighborhoods.

(1/3) @NewTrier203 @IGSSers teachers developed a Service Learning project in which students worked in small groups outside the school while learning about aspects of poverty specific to their interests. It focused on relevant, engaging, and student-centered learning experiences.

(2/3) @IGSSers teachers attended a project based learning conference, thanks to the Foundation’s first ever Fowkes Family Grant. Professional development opportunities like this provide knowledge & tools for faculty to create impactful programs for @NewTrier203 students.
Providing students with the opportunity to effect change is one of the best parts of IGSS!
From late October to early November of 2023, students from New Trier High School’s Integrated Global Studies School (IGSS) met with Township Village Boards to propose ways to increase affordable housing on the North Shore.
