PL  Adoption Across CPS

To date, over 120 CPS schools have piloted PL practices, designed plans to scale, or implemented a whole-school PL model. Through organic interest and grassroots implementation, the Personalized Learning Team supports schools ability to choose the right learning opportunity and implementation model for them. 

As a district, we set out to lead the U.S. in innovative educational practices by leveraging personalized learning to dramatically advance student outcomes and support our vision for rigorous, powerful instruction for every student, every school, every day.
By design, the adoption and implementation of personalized learning varies from school to school. All participating PL schools across CPS choose to bring personalized practices to their buildings and design their own models for implementation based on school context, need, and vision. 
​
Described below are current and past cohorts of schools that have participated in a personalized learning professional development program since 2014. 
​

We encourage you to explore the various professional learning pathways and programs that are available to schools and teachers within CPS. If you are interested in learning more about personalized learning or are considering joining a PL program, please reach out to the PL Team at personalizedlearning@cps.edu.
