“When our first PBL experience with a national PBL organization failed to take hold in my school, I almost lost my desire. Then came Illinois21 to capture our teachers’ interest. In one year’s time , Illlinois21’s team built a strong foundation with 95% of our staff on board able to design, teach, and assess their own PBI lessons. Their expertise with our mostly Hispanic population many of whom are early English Language Learners was a plus.”

- Margaret Irizarry, Principal, Reilly Elementary School, Chicago, Illinois
