Halle School – formerly H. Barbara Booker

Halle is part of the Redesign Network
within CMSD with a focus on Inquiry
Based Learning (IBL), a student centered
approach to teaching and learning
that allows our students to: engage
in questioning techniques through
wonder walls, soft starts and question
formulations; research using technology,
personal resources and experts in the
field; write and evaluate their work while
referencing standards across all subjects;
embrace their individual strengths and
growth areas and set goals; and make
presentations to show their learning.

Wraparound welcomes our neighborhood into Halle.
In addition to our new learning/teaching approach, we have an extensive afterschool
program run by our site coordinator from West Side Community House.
Program offerings include:
• Band and drama club.
• Scouts.
• Tutoring.
• Open gym, basketball for boys and girls, yoga, and running club.
• GED and English as a second language classes for adults.
