2024 CPS Summer Leadership Institute (SLI)

We are looking forward to collaborating together as we build on our leadership and plan to strengthen the Instructional Core in your school. Our hope for ILT Institutes in SY25 is to support your ILT in 2 key areas:
Through Whole Team Learning that will be  dedicated to increasing the capacity of ILTs to implement and monitor progress toward their Instructional Core CIWP Priorities. During this time, ILTs will collaborate around defining, refining, & implementing Learning Cycles informed by practice and perspective data. In turn, this will serve to strengthen the conditions for teachers to facilitate engaging, rigorous and relevant instruction with high-quality curriculum to best meet the needs of the students they serve. 
Choice Breakout Sessions that will support instructional leaders to deepen their impact through cultivating knowledge, skills, and expertise in the Instructional Core Focus Areas that most align with their school's professional learning plans as leaders of teams.
Together, these learning opportunities will support ILTs in leading their schools to continue their progress toward the CPS Instructional Core Vision, the district's commitment to a culturally sustaining and responsive education rooted in equity and centered on identity, relationships, and community.

4. Review the District and your school’s PL Plans - ILTs will play a critical role in professional learning for your school in SY25. Please read through this overview to support you to internalize the full scope of the plan. Additionally, you can locate your school’s unique PL planning template here. Included in this document are a data analysis protocol and learning cycle builder to support your ILT to design impactful and relevant learning cycles.
5. Prepare for Virtual Engagement: The Institute will be held virtually over Zoom (link TBA). ILTs have the option of meeting in person at their school to log in to the Zoom together. Alternatively, ILT members may attend remotely. If all ILT members will not be able to join in person, please set up a Google Meet link to allow your school team to collaborate virtually each time we pause for ILT discussions and work time.
