Grade level agendas provide documentation in the notes section.
The school must annually review the schoolwide plan/program. The schoolwide program plan is available to CPS, parents, and the public, and the information in the plan is in an understandable and uniform format, and to the extent practicable in a language the parents can understand. Please list evidence for the ESSA Schoolwide Program requirements outlined below.
Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965 continues a legislative commitment to parental involvement. Central features of prior reauthorizations, such as school-parent compacts, parent involvement policies, and the parent involvement funding formula remain unaltered. However, the ESSA reauthorization represents a notable shift in the role of parent and family engagement in the schools. It includes new provisions increasing parental notification requirements, parental selection of educational options, and parental engagement in governance. It envisions parents as informed and empowered decision makers in their children's education.
Schools must involve parents and family in the joint development and periodic review and revision of the ESSA, Title I school parental and family engagement plan and policy, and in the process of school review and improvement. Please describe how this will be accomplished.
At the request of parents, schools will provide opportunities for regular meetings, including the School Parent Advisory Council meetings, for parents and family members to formulate suggestions and to participate, as appropriate, in decisions about the education of their children. Please describe how the school will immediately respond to any such suggestions.
Schools will assist parents of participating ESSA Title I children in understanding: the state's academic content standards; the state's student academic achievement standards; the state and local academic assessments including alternate assessments; the requirements of Title I, Part A; how to monitor their child's progress; and how to work with educators. Please describe how this will be accomplished.
Schools will provide information, resources, materials and training, including literacy training and technology, as appropriate, to assist parents and family members in working with their children to improve their academic achievement, and to encourage increased parental involvement. Please describe how this will be accomplished.
Schools will educate all staff in the value and utility of contributions by parents and family and in how to reach out to, communicate and work with, parents and family as equal partners in the education of their children and in how to implement and coordinate parent and family programs and build ties with parents and family members. Please describe how this will be accomplished.
Schools will, to the extent feasible and appropriate, coordinate and integrate parent and family programs and activities with Head Start, Reading First, Early Reading First involvement, Even Start, Home Instruction Programs for Preschool Youngsters, the Parents as Teachers Program, public preschool, and other programs, to further encourage and support parents and families in more fully participating in their children's education. Please describe how this will be accomplished.
Schools will ensure that information related to the school and parent and family programs, meetings, and other activities is sent to parents in understandable and uniform formats, including language. Please describe how this will be accomplished.
Policy Implementation Activities
In the CIWP, the school identifies current parental and family engagement practices and outlines activities related to expanding parent and family partnership programs.
The school will coordinate the parent and family engagement programs identified in the CIWP.
The school will evaluate the Parent and Family Engagement Policy for effectiveness and make improvements as necessary.
The school will provide parents opportunities to volunteer and participate in their children's classes. Describe how and when parents and family members may volunteer, participate, and observe classroom activities.
Allocate your Mandated Title 1 Parent and Family Engagement Funds to support your Parent and Family Engagement Program.
Travel Buses for Parents use. Overnight Conference travel- schools must follow the CPS Travel Policy. The CPS Parent Overnight Travel Approval Form and Conference Travel Form must be completed.
Reimbursements Allocation CAN NOT EXCEED 25% OF THE Parent Budget. All Parent Reimbursements related to Title 1 parent and family engagement must be paid from this account. Receipts must be clear, original, unaltered and itemized. School must keep all receipts.
Postage Must be used for parent and family engagement programs only.
If we do...Create a Literacy Professional Learning Committee (PLC) that will work together to identify potential weaknesses in our curriculum alignment, explore current research on reading and writing workshops, identify best practices in literacy and writing, and provide training to RLA and SLA teachers,
then we see...a consistent and unified literacy and writing curriculum across grade levels and programs,
which leads to...increased growth and attainment scores on the iReady, Star 360 and IAR in Literacy.
(Notes from CIWP development phase to inform budget, talent, and schedules)
Funding allocated for PLC leads, teacher training, and supplemental literacy and writing curriculum materials; budgeting for subs so that curriculum teams can meet quarterly for 3 hours.
Select all funding sources you plan to use to support the strategy (select "no cost" if the strategy has no budget impact).
Select all the budget categories you plan to fund to support the strategy (Schools should limit the budget categories selected to ONLY those directly impacting the strategy)
Add additional context explaining how spending in this category supports your associated CIWP goals targeted by each theory of action.
Providing the same amount of resourcces to students and schools with different lived experiences, assets, and challenges will maintain the status quo of unequal achievement. Please reference the draft CPS Equity Framework as you connect your strategies with the opportunity gaps at your school. How does the spend in the above categories help achieve the strategy outcome and what specific opportunity gap that will be addressed?
Example: Adding an additional math teacher will support the implementation of smaller classes in 3rd-5th grades.
If we do...Create a Math Professional Learning Community (PLC) that will work together to identify potential weaknesses in our curriculum alignment, build teacher capacity around best practices in math instruction, and strengthen and increase the use of assessment data as it relates to the progression of the Common Core Standards,
then we see...more targeted, differentiated, and individualized math instruction,
which leads to...student growth on the iReady Math, Star 360, and IAR assessments.
Budgeting for PLC, professional development on data analysis, math best practices and curricular alignment, and teacher resource materials.
If we do...Create structures for parent empowerment that includes open lines of communication with the administration and staff members, opportunities for learning and growth, and opportunities for volunteering,
then we see...improved engagement levels of families and community members in events that take place in and around the school,
which leads to...parents that are engaged in the school-home connection, helping to support the learning process at home.
Funding will be secured through the Title 1 PAC budget; Administration will help to facilitate the planning and development of parent-led committees and teams; Partnerships with FACE2 and community organizations (ANA, 33rd Ward, Arts, Health Organizations) to support parents in the learning process;
If we do...Develop a School-Wide Assessment Plan and consistent grading categories/scales that will more accurately reflect our students' mastery of identified learning standards,
then we see...a more individualized, targeted and accurate approach to both teaching and learning,
which leads to...increased growth as measured on the mClass, Star 360 and IAR assessments.
Budget for Math PLC; mentor text for teachers; provide common planning time for content area teachers to design categories.
If we do...Create systems that help students celebrate their culture and identity through arts programming, mentoring, and developing and fostering trusting relationships with staff members,
then we see...higher levels of relational trust between and among students and staff members,
which leads to...increased levels of engagement, improved student attendance, and decreased numbers of conduct referrals.
Budget for Class Catalyst, professional resources (Everyday SEL), Arts Programming, after school programming that supports the Arts and SEL and mentoring opportunities, behavioral health team, and SEL and Arts PLCs.
