Postsecondary success has been steadily on the rise @RCA_WARRIORS, with students earning early college & career credentials at a rate well above the SY25 district average. Under Principal Kennedy's (@RCAPrincipal) leadership, every student experiences a CTE pathway, teacher retention has increased as has the number of qualified multilingual staff in the building. In another powerful example of CLC leadership learning, Resident Principal Yu is supporting staff as they work to increase student discourse and use peer classroom visits to drive that growth. #TheBestLeadwithCPS @ChiPubSchools

At Crane Medical Prep, students get exciting early college and medical career exposure. To drive the increasing postsecondary success in the school, Principal Benson has focused on staff collaboration and nurturing a sense of belonging among students, both of which have seen increases in the 5 Essentials data. As a CLC site, serving at Crane has been a powerful learning experience for Resident Principal Harth, who is learning from Principal Benson and leading the ILT's work to use Cultivate data to bring student voice into instruction. #TheBestLeadwithCPS @ChiPubSchools
