Our Metrics for School Practices and Student Outcomes
We’ve expanded our school profiles with new metrics to support CPS’ reimagined approach to analyzing school practices and student outcomes. These metrics are organized around four key aspects of school life that provide a fuller picture of how the District and schools are meeting the needs of the whole child. Explore the key aspects below to find information about academic progress, school conditions, community engagement, and more at this school.
Evidence of Student Learning and Wellbeing
Includes reporting on academic progress, student wellbeing, and college and career planning.
Daily Learning Experiences
Includes reporting on the curriculum, instruction, environment, interventions, and individualized support over time.
Adult Capacity and Continuous Learning
Provides insight into the experience, stability, and professional growth of teachers and leadership.
Inclusive and Collaborative School and Community
Reports access to enrichment activities outside the classroom, community partnerships, and parent involvement.
How We Partner for Continuous Improvement
District Investments
CPS is committed to providing the resources needed to provide a high-quality education for all our students. Strategic investments are equitably distributed to support school initiatives and priorities that drive student growth.
Continuous Improvement Work Plan (CIWP)
This three-year strategic plan is prepared by each school’s CIWP team (school leadership, staff, parents, LSC members, community members, and others) to outline the school’s initiatives and priorities to improve student outcomes.
