Existing Partners
External partnerships enable Skyline to collaborate with renowned institutions in creating engaging and interactive digital learning experiences throughout the Skyline curriculum. Our proud partners include:
Skyline Curriculum Collaborative
Skyline was built in partnership with over 300 CPS teachers who joined the district-wide Skyline Curriculum Collaborative between 2019 and 2021. To ensure the curriculum remains current and responsive to students, we are committed to annual revisions, improvements, and additions to the resources.
We believe the continuous improvement of Skyline can only be accomplished in collaboration with the teachers and students it is intended to serve. The Curriculum Collaborative Steering Committee (CCSC) is where teachers and students work with the Skyline Curriculum Design Team throughout the year to aggregate cohort feedback, revise existing materials and contribute new comprehensive courses. Here are key elements of our shared work:
- Nine 90-min group sessions throughout the school year
- Classroom visits for observation and co-teaching
- Student focus groups for feedback and co-designing
- $1,500 stipend
- 2 Collaborative Showcases
We invite all CPS teachers to join by completing the SY 24-25 CCSC Application today! Don’t miss out – apply by October 11, 2024!
