"Stile has helped me support ELL students by allowing me to narrate in their language and provide extra help for struggling readers."

6th Grade Teacher

At Ingenium Charter Middle School in Winnetka, California, educators are dedicated to creating an inclusive and engaging learning environment for all students. With a diverse student body, including a significant number of English Language Learners, teachers sought a science curriculum that could meet varied learning needs and promote active participation.

Stile provided the solution. Its built-in supports, such as vocabulary scaffolding, interactive question types, and audio options in both English and Spanish, empower students to build confidence, articulate their understanding, and engage deeply with scientific concepts.

"Stile has helped me support ELL students by allowing me to narrate in their language and provide extra help for struggling readers," said Jovana, a 6th-grade teacher at Ingenium Charter Middle School.

The curriculum's real-world science issues and intuitive editing tools make it easy for teachers to personalize content, connecting lessons to students' interests and experiences. Jovana's students were particularly engaged when exploring Newton’s Laws through a skateboarding simulation in Stile.

"Compared to what I used in the past, Stile is much more engaging for students,” she noted. “The simulations allow them to make real-world connections."

Stile's flexibility also enables teachers to differentiate instruction effectively, catering to students with varying capabilities.

"My students range in their capabilities—some are really behind, and some are advanced,” Jovana explained. “Now, I can differentiate to meet all their needs."

By integrating Stile into their classrooms, teachers at Ingenium Charter Middle School are not only enhancing scientific literacy but also fostering an environment where every student feels seen, supported, and inspired to learn.
