The Cook County Schools 2020-2025 Professional Learning Plan aims to support the District Strategic Plan's initiatives by improving instructional practices, literacy outcomes, and the integration of various disciplines. The plan targets diverse audiences, including teachers, leaders, and support personnel, across all grade levels (PreK-12). Specific strategies include implementing the Learning-Focused Schools Framework, providing new teacher orientation and mentoring, administering assessments with fidelity, and offering various training programs in areas such as phonics, math, co-teaching, literacy, computer science, and classroom management. The plan utilizes various effectiveness measures, including TKES evaluations, GMAS data, and surveys, to track progress and inform future professional development initiatives.
