Welcome to the wiki site for the Chicago Public Schools' workshop pilot project. We are grateful that you have accepted to join this exciting new pilot. This site is available to you as both an informational resource as well as a collaborative forum while planning for the workshop.

Analysis of 2011 results - done by the district

Here you will find an analysis of the amount of money spent on IB programmes and all associated costs, in year 2011, by Chicago Public Schools:

Bear in mind that these workshops are different from standard workshops for a number of reasons:
 * the district is interested in improving programme implementation and willing to work with the IB and IB educators to make this happen
 * we will share as much information as possible about the programmes prior to the workshops
 * the participants will be the teachers who are responsible for curriculum implementation, therefore you will be working with the actual curriculum and assessment documents, or with actual action plans in the case of the leadership workshop

Please use the discussion on the home page for general questions, and the workshop pages on the left hand column to collaborate with your co leader. We will be monitoring the site regularly to ensure that your questions are answered. Below is a case study on Chicago Public Schools written in April 2011, and a brief description of the project that you are embarking upon.

Here is a document that lists CPS's authorized programmes as well as candidates:
