Partner Directory
While developing the new CPS Civic Life Vision, we learned that all stakeholder desired a more efficient and transparent method of tracking, connecting, and aligning school and classroom based partnerships under quality and equity goals. We developed an interactive partner directory and map to fill this need. This tool will help CPS educators identify and connect to community partners that align to and enrich Civic Life Powerful Practices, Social Science curriculum and instruction, Financial Education, and Environmental justice education.
