Claim ProfileWhy Cesar E. Chávez Multicultural Academic Center was nominated
Chávez is a vibrant PK-8 public school located in Chicago's Back of the Yards neighborhood. At Chávez, stakeholders seek to facilitate connected learning experiences; an extended school day and a variety of extracurricular programs help students to connect their experiences in and and beyond school, and to pursue goals that emerge from this interconnection. Chávez's teacher-powered blended learning models emerged from an extended-day program the school piloted in 2010. The school's current rotation and Flex models are designed specifically with its large English language learner population in mind. Blended learning here exists in conjunction with personalized learning plans, multi-grade cohorts, and extended time for students. Students can advance in certain subjects, like math and English, upon demonstrating mastery.
