What we’ve heard from CPS Teachers…
“Very detailed and well thought out.”
“The Framework should be required as a way to help us hone our craft of teaching practice.”
“It’s kid friendly, teacher friendly and can be incorporated into the culture for the building and departments.”
“Useful as a guide for improvement.”

What we’ve heard from CPS Principals…
“This is long overdue.”
“On the current evaluation, it’s hard not to be ‘superior,’ and it’s unclear… what it means to be ‘excellent.’ This [Framework] gives teachers a clear idea, offers uniformity, rules out gray areas and focuses more on instruction versus coming to school on time.”
“I was so glad to see this. We were planning to create something like this for our school.”
