What’s working: Increasing Graduation & College Enrollment
Freshman on Track Rate According to the Consortium on Chicago School Research (CCSR), freshmen who are on track at the end of their freshman year are 3.5 times more likely to graduate from high school in four years than students who are off track1. The lowest on-track rate was among African-American males with a 63% on-track rate. 1http://ccsr.uchicago.edu/sites/default/files/publications/p78.pdf
One-Year Dropout Rate There were 8,781 dropouts in 2012. This includes unverified out-of-district transfers. The highest dropout rate was among African-American males with a 11.6% dropout rate.
Common Core Standards: True College Readiness Student Achievement Today
Setting Clear Priorities • Incomplete theories of action focus on only a single component of creating great schools: • A focus on standards and curriculum without any impact on instruction • A focus on instructional strategies without the structures necessary to make changes sustainable • A focus on adding resources (time, people, money) without clear guidance on how to use them • A focus on outcomes without concern for the quality of inputs • Transformation requires a sustained focus on the instructional core and the structures to support it. Chief Education Office
Strategic Priorities Common Core: By SY 2014-15 all students will have access to high quality Common Core-aligned curricula as defined by CPS Framework for Content Standards in literacy and mathematics. Framework for Teaching: By SY 2012-13 all educators will be supported by a clear vision for effective instruction as defined by the CPS Framework for Teaching. Full School Day: By SY 2012-13 all students will have access to core academics, intervention, and enrichment through a 7 hour school day Office of Instruction
