A Collective Effort
This vision was developed under the leadership of the Office of Social Emotional Learning, in partnership with Chicago Beyond—an impact investor fighting for all young people to achieve their fullest human potential through investing in organizations, ideas, and individuals. It has been shaped by ideas from hundreds of teachers, staff, students, administrators, families, and community partners who graciously shared their time and wisdom.
Children First Fund, the Chicago Public Schools Foundation, collaborated on developing this vision and engaging the community of partners and supporters dedicated to the success of Chicago’s students. Additionally, this vision has been built on a foundation of national best practices from other leading school districts and education networks.
It represents a true district-wide effort with contributions from many CPS departments, including but not limited to:
- Family and Community Engagement in Education (FACE2)
- Office of Student Health and Wellness (OSHW)
- Office of School Safety and Security (OSSS)
- Office of Diverse Learners and Support Services (ODLSS)
- Office of School Counseling and Postsecondary Advising (OSCPA)
- Office of Student Protections and Title IX (OSP)
- Office of Equity
- Talent Office
