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.
Members of the Curriculum Collaborative may be identified by this badge in their email signature.
The Skyline Curriculum Designer Team is excited to announce the launch of this year’s Curriculum Collaborative Steering Committee (CCSC). We believe the continuous improvement of Skyline Curriculum can only be accomplished in collaboration with the teachers and students it is intended to serve. In the past 3 years, CCSC teachers and students have contributed to the production of 6 comprehensive courses with 35 unique revisions based on prototypes this past year. In response to cohort feedback, here are key elements of our shared work:
- Ten 90 min sessions beginning Oct 24, 2023, from 4:30 - 6 p.m.
- New cohorts: Arts, IB Alignment, SLA/ALE
- Elevating student voice by way of targeted feedback + codesigning
- Reflection forms targeted and specific to content area’s prototypes (rather than Unit and Lesson reflection forms)
- $1,500 stipend disbursement aligned to the number of sessions and split equally across
- At least one classroom visit per teacher with options including:
- Observe a priority project prototype
- Student focus group/Student co-design session on that prototype
- Co-teaching with that prototype
We have included the MOU and Scope and Sequence (specific Arts, WL, IB to be shared with invites) for more details. We invite all CPS teachers to apply to join the SY 23-24 CCSC by completing this application by October 13, 2023.
