Lindblom Math and Science Academy

Nathan, Teddy, and Danya are a multi-disciplinary team from Lindblom Math and Science Academy in the south side of Chicago. At their selective enrollment school, students come from all over the city, creating a microcosm of Chicago. In their fight for equity during the Chicago Teachers’ Union Strike, they had a rare opportunity to discuss their individual goals. Through these conversations, they realized what they envisioned was actually very similar: equitable opportunities in their classrooms, time to develop interdisciplinary curriculum, and a space to discuss the successes and challenges of their shared students. They are ready to dish some deep teaching insight to their fellow fellows, light a fire of collaboration, and knock the Sox off of their colleagues. Hot dog!
