At Perspectives, we educate the student beyond the classroom to succeed in college and in life while empowering our teachers through a unique education model. Perspectives' award-winning teachers have received countless accolades, including the Shell Urban Science Educator Award, presented by the National Science Teacher's Association. We support our teachers with the opportunity to grow through training and professional development to complement their career goals. Our education model — A Disciplined Life® (ADL) — has a curriculum that focuses on social-emotional learning, academia, and character building. Using this model, our teachers guide student behavior and performance, helping them to develop positive self-perception, healthy relationships, and the tools for productivity.

Happy #WonderWomanWednesday! 💥 This week, we’re celebrating the incredible Tracy Fletcher, our VP of Enrollment & Student Retention, for being an absolute force in our school community! Tracy is the definition of a BOSS—thoughtful, compassionate, and endlessly supportive. She goes above and beyond every day to ensure the success of our students, parents, and staff alike -- proving her dedication knows no bounds! We can’t say enough about her commitment to Perspectives, and honestly, we wish we could clone her and place her on every campus! It goes without saying that we are enormously fortunate to have Tracy on our Leadership Team. Cheers to her for everything she does for our #PCSfam -- especially during #enrollment Season! 🥂 #LeadershipInAction #WeLiveADisciplinedLife #InspiringLeader #ShowGratitude #BePositiveAndSupportive

Thanks for the shoutout, Conrad Timbers-Ausar! 🤗 We pride ourselves on our #SocialEmotionalEducation model, which creates space for genuine feelings of belonging and care, helping our students feel confident and secure to push themselves to new heights. We've got their back, and they know it. #WeLiveADisciplinedLife
Had an incredible opportunity to visit Perspectives Charter Schools /IIT Math & Science Academy. I was particularly impressed by the family atmosphere the admin team has built, which fosters a supportive and nurturing environment for students. The students' genuine connection with the leadership is a testament to their positive impact. This year, the school is set to graduate its first student with an Associate of Arts degree, a significant milestone that highlights the school's commitment to academic excellence. The leadership of Principal Banks and AP Waybon McConnell is undoubtedly instrumental in the school's success. I was truly inspired by the dedication and passion of the staff, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for Perspectives/IIT Math & Science Academy. #Education #ChicagoPublicSchools #PerspectivesIIT #FamilyAtmosphere #StudentSuccess #AcademicExcellence
