Whiting Lane Elementary School, in West Hartford, CT, has been recognized for its outstanding work in student growth. Its students come from diverse backgrounds—socio-economically, culturally, and educationally. One of the ways its educators support all students in pursuing academic rigor is by presenting them with highly engaging projects that require collaboration, problem-solving, and attention to detail. In Kim Hannan’s third-grade math class, small groups of students work together to design a dream house, where they wrestle with square footage, unit costs, budget constraints, and negotiation skills—and have a great time doing it.
