CPS ARTS EDUCATION PLAN PROGRESS
65
This report provides an opportunity to reflect on the full complement of
the CPS Arts Education Plan’s goals and recommendations. The Plan includes
recommendations across a broad spectrum of goals, not all of which are
measured in the Creative Schools Survey. These recommendations are
designed to be flexible; “They acknowledge that Chicago’s neighborhoods
have a distinct history and voice and that no one model or solution will
work for all schools.” 35 Using data from the CSC and additional findings,
this section examines the district-level progress that has been made,
as well as the areas of opportunity for future improvement.
PROGRESS UPDATE DEFINITIONS
Ingenuity acknowledges that some recommendations are tasks
that can be checked off as completed at some point in time. Other
recommendations require ongoing implementation efforts year after year.
Thus some recommendations will move from Partially Implemented to Fully
Implemented. Other recommendations will move from In Process to Ongoing.
Partially Implemented
These recommendations are focused on creation of policies and
programs; the policies and programs are partially in place.
Fully Implemented
These recommendations are focused on creation of policies and
programs; the policies and programs are now in place.
In Process
The creation of policy-level support at the district, state,
or federal level for these recommendations is in progress.
When that support is in place, on-the-ground realization of
the recommendations’ intent will vary from one school to
the next and from one year to the next.
Ongoing
Policy-level support for these recommendations is in place, but
their on-the-ground implementation varies by school and by
year, depending on local circumstances; realization of the intent
behind these recommendations can therefore never be truly said
to be “complete.”
