Action steps within at least one theory of action in the school's continuous improvement work plan focuses on improvement within the CPS School Climate Standards for the years 2020-2022.
Action steps include activities in both the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years.
Action steps include universal strategies to support all students or are targeted to address inequities among subgroups.
Progress monitoring is completed for action steps related to the School Climate Standards.

Tips for Submitting Evidence
Tips for Submitting Evidence
Please double-check that you are uploading your most recent CIWP. Every year, a few schools accidentally upload an outdated plan.
Please upload a PDF of the full plan. Check to make sure that the theories of action and action steps are included!
Action steps in the CIWP must refer to SEL strategies that support all students. That is action items that only refer to services that only impact a subset of students do not meet this standard unless they are designed to address an inequity among a subgroup.
If you complete progress monitoring activities on the CIWP platform, this will be viewable by the reviewer in the PDF of the full plan. If your school uses a tracker or some other progress monitoring tool, you can link that instead.
