New Five-Year Strategic Plan

Starting in Fall 2023, CPS is kicking off the development of the District’s next Five-Year Strategic Plan. The goal is to submit a plan for approval by the Chicago Board of Education in the summer of 2024.

Step 1: Share detailed and interactive information about the current state of individual CPS schools and the District at large; CPS will conduct a series of State of the District briefings in communities (October 17th - November 1st)
Step 2: Listen to parents, students, teachers, administrators, communities, and other stakeholders and collaborate to co-create solutions to the District’s challenges
Step 3: Use community feedback to create a strategic plan to guide the District for the next five years

Continuous Improvement and Data Transparency (CIDT)

At its April 2023 meeting, the CPS Board unanimously passed the Continuous Improvement and Data Transparency (CIDT) policy, in alignment with three years of stakeholder engagement. The key points of new approach to accountability include:

What Is Ending?

Summative ratings; punitive mindset

What Is Staying?

Student outcomes (standardized assessments, graduation, etc.); sharing information with stakeholders

What Is New?

Focus on inputs, conditions, and resources; continuous improvement every three years; District accountability mindset

14

Continuous Improvement and Data Transparency (CIDT)

The new approach to accountability codified in the CIDT can be summarized with the following three questions, all of the which the District is working to measure and report:

What are the things a high-quality school should be doing? Why are these attributes important?
Is my school doing these things?
To the extent my school needs to improve in these areas, how is the District supporting my school community in those efforts?

The District is in the process of implementing a working group structure to develop answers and reporting mechanisms for all of these questions.

SY24 Performance Data

The next slides will provide you with our current school-wide data:

IAR
Algebra
Illinois Science Assessment (Grades 5th and 7th)

18

Now I want to review some commonly shared performance data to give you a sense of where we are as of the end of last school year:

iReady (if applicable)

iReady (K-2) assessments for math and Spanish and English literacy help us understand the following:

students’ general academic skill and ability levels
whether students are meeting established academic benchmarks
which students may need additional supports, interventions, or enrichment in academic areas

Results are shared with parents/caregivers at the student level.
An important things to consider about this assessments is that…
first, this is no-stakes assessments. This means that they are not used by the district for public accountability purposes and instead only for academic planning purposes.
however we are regularly sharing individualized student-level results with you, as parents/caregivers as we work together with you on academic plans for your children.

2024-2026 CIWP Priorities

	#1	#2
CIWP Priorities	Curriculum & Instruction	Inclusive & Supportive Learning Environment
Theory of Action	If we… adopt and implement a high quality curriculum with materials that are standards-aligned and culturally responsive with rigorous, meaningful tasks, with arts infused and common assessments, Then we will see… Students experience grade-level, standards-aligned instruction and increasing their control over grade level competencies Which will lead to… more students performing at or above grade level on curriculum based assessments (iready k-2 and Star360 3-8) and IAR by the end of the 3 year CIWP cycle.	If we… effectively implement Tier I curriculum, develop high quality Tier II and Tier III intervention plans, progress monitor supports and interpret data to tailor instruction Then we will see… students engaged in differentiated core curriculum and data informed, evidence-based interventions Which will lead to… a greater number of students on grade level on Star/ IAR.
