CPS ARTS EDUCATION PLAN PROGRESS
67
GOAL 3 — CAPACITY BUILDING
Provide relevant professional development for all stakeholders to build their capacity for improving
student learning in and through the arts, and develop strategies to address the district’s challenges
to arts education.
Professional learning opportunities for community providers and principals have been increased and
enhanced since the Plan’s inception; sustaining these increases will require continued effort and
support. Recommendation D is partially implemented, as members of CPS, Ingenuity, and Arts Alliance
Illinois are exploring ways to develop arts education criteria that align with the Illinois Postsecondary
and Workforce Readiness Act. Additionally, CPS is redesigning the Advanced Arts program for high
schoolers to offer dual credit in collaboration with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
