CPS Skyline Professional Learning, SY25
Skyline 101
If it was not possible for you to attend a Skyline 101 session this summer, Year 1 Skyline-adopting teachers should complete the Skyline Essentials Badges HERE and register for Unit Internalization sessions, where we’ll be sure that you get the support you need to get started!

Unit Internalization for Year 1 Skyline Adopters
Plan for successful implementation of the upcoming Skyline unit, including support for students with disabilities and multilingual learners, and using assessments and the Checkpoint platform effectively. Unit internalization is highly recommended for teachers and coaches new to Skyline. During these sessions you will:
  • Study the unit to deeply understand (1) the big ideas students are expected to learn, (2) the arc of learning over the unit, and (3) how students will be assessed summatively and formatively along the way
  • Tailor instruction to meet the needs of students with unfinished learning, students with disabilities, and multilingual learners
  • Internalize the instructional practice shifts embedded in the curriculum by experiencing a lesson immersion
Unit Planning for Year 2+ Skyline Adopters
Returning Skyline teachers are invited to attend 2-hour, in-person Unit Planning sessions. These sessions are designed for those with at least one year of Skyline experience in their content area. You will:
  • Engage with the Unit Internalization Protocol in a lightly-facilitated space
  • Collaborate with other district teachers and T&L content specialists
Skyline Essentials Badges
Self-paced professional learning essential for those who are implementing and/or supporting the implementation of Skyline. Courses include how to navigate Skyline, plan and teach lessons and administer assessments using the Skyline digital learning ecosystem. The Navigating, Planning, Teaching, and Assessing 1&2 badges are required for new Skyline adopting teachers. Access Skyline Essential Badges HERE!  

Payment / Credit Hours
Teachers will receive CPDUs and will be paid 1 non-instructional hour for each Skyline Essentials badge completed. Teachers will receive CPDUs for attending PL sessions. Eligibile staff will also be compensated at the non-instructional rate per hour for their attendance at Skyline PL sessions that occur outside of regularly contracted hours.  Teachers must be fully contracted and onboarded at the time of the session, attend the full duration of the session, and complete the attendance/exit slip form to receive payment and CPDUs. Please find more payment information in the Skyline Payment One-Pager.
or to bookmark your favorites and sync them to your phone or calendar.

Unit 1 Internalization - SS 1st Grade
Tuesday August 20, 2024 9:00am - 3:00pm CDT
The Skyline Social Science  team is excited to see you tomorrow at your Unit 1 Internalization Session!

As a reminder, you’ve registered for:

Session: Skyline Social Science Unit 1 Internalization
Date:Tuesday, August 20, 2024 
Time: 9 am-3 pm (with a one-hour break for lunch)
Location: CPS Network 10 -  9901 S. Western Ave 
Travel Considerations: Due to the Democratic National Convention, we know travel might be challenging in specific areas of the city, so it will be important to leave plenty of time to make it to the PL site. We know this is important learning and are grateful you’ll be allowing yourself some extra travel time on these days!

Here’s a little more on what to expect:

Before your session
To ensure we are best prepared to provide you a powerful learning experience, Google Calendar invites will be sent.  Please be sure to accept the calendar invite to confirm your attendance.  

Register for Learning Hub ahead of time using the following codes:
  • Course Code: 69766
  • Class Code: 128365

What to bring:
  • A fully charged computer (and your power cord)
  • Lunch (or plan to visit one of the neighborhood restaurants) 
  • A photo ID (CPS or Driver’s License) to show to building security

When you arrive:
  • We will begin right at 9 am. Please arrive a few minutes early to be ready to learn when your session starts.
  • Please do not park in the parking lot at 9901 S. Western. This parking lot is ONLY for the employees who work at the network offices and Vick. Please be aware if you park in this lot you will be asked to move your car. There is some non-permit parking in the neighborhoods around the building, but be mindful of signage as there are some blocks with permit parking only. Please enter through the door facing the parking lot. 
  • Room: Training Room

What you’ll be learning:
Learn the ins and outs of implementing your first Skyline unit!
Look forward to learning about topics such as key instructional practice shifts, supports for students with disabilities and multilingual learners, and using assessments to backwards plan.


Unit Internalizations are highly recommended for teachers who are new to Skyline after completing Skyline 101. Teachers who were unable to attend Skyline 101 this summer should register for a Unit Internalization as the best pathway to get started with Skyline.

Waitlist reminder:
If you are no longer able to attend this session, please reschedule on Sched today to allow someone on the waitlist to attend. To unenroll, hover your cursor over your session and click “Remove from My Schedule” in the popup window.

SS Grade 8, Unit 5 Internalization - Facing History and Ourselves - Choices in Little Rock: An Approach to Teaching the Civil Rights Movement
Thursday December 5, 2024 9:00am - 3:00pm CST
In 1957, nine black teenagers faced the threats of angry mobs when they attempted to enter Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. The desegregation of Central High School ignited a crisis historian Taylor Branch describes as “the most severe test of the Constitution since the Civil War.” We will examine this key moment in U.S. history and learn new ways to engage students in the issues raised by the American civil rights movement and their implications today.

Who should take the course? Chicago Public School 8th grade social studies and humanities teachers.

Sub bucket number will be provided. Breakfast and lunch will be provided, vegetarian options will be included.
Speakers: Alayna Washington Nicole Smith-Franklin

SS Grade 10, Unit 5 Internalization - Facing History and Ourselves -The Reconstruction Era and the Fragility of Democracy
Wednesday December 11, 2024 9:00am - 3:00pm CST
How does society rebuild after extraordinary division and trauma, when the ideals and values of democracy are most vulnerable? The Reconstruction era, most commonly viewed as the period from 1865 to 1877, was a monumental struggle for freedom and democracy in the face of violent backlash. The study of the Reconstruction era in American history is essential to an understanding of citizenship and democracy in the United States today. You will learn to teach about the Reconstruction era using an approach that helps students connect this history to their own lives and the choices they make today. Who should take the course? Chicago Public Schools high school US History teachers, Ethnic Studies teachers, African American History, Chicago History. Sub bucket number will be provided. Breakfast and lunch will be provided, vegetarian options will be included. Speakers: Alayna Washington Steven Roseman Sched Cap: 65

SS Grade 9, Unit 5 Internalization -Facing History and Ourselves - Democracy at Risk: Holocaust and Human Behavior
Tuesday February 11, 2025 9:00am - 3:00pm CST
In today’s global climate, the urgency of sustaining democratic societies that are pluralistic, open, and resilient to violence is more pressing than ever. Facing History’s in-depth case study examines the fragility of democracy in Weimar Germany, the ensuing Holocaust, and the legacies of this history. Studying the Holocaust and Human Behavior case study allows students to wrestle with profound moral questions raised by this history while fostering their skills in ethical and moral reasoning, critical analysis, empathy, and civic engagement—all of which are critical habits of mind for sustaining democracy.

Who should take the course? Chicago Public Schools high school World Studies teachers.

Sub bucket number will be provided. Breakfast and lunch will be provided, vegetarian options will be included.
