Innovation Agenda Teacher Planning Team: The IA Teacher Planning Team is composed of 15 teachers in grades 5-9, including general and Special Education teachers and specialists, from schools across the city. All CPS teachers at these grade levels were invited to apply for participation, and we received 36 applications from a range of extremely qualified and committed CPS educators. Teachers were selected in order to create a diverse team that represented school communities and content areas. The IA Teacher Planning Team will meet five times before the end of the 2010-11 school year. This team will identify areas of interest and concern from the teachers’ perspective as well as process recommendations that will provide the Superintendent with guidance in terms of topics for exploration and areas for design in 2011-12.
