Background
Chicago Public Schools’ Instructional Equity Working Group (IEWG) is composed of teachers, school administrators, partners, and central office staff.

Students were consulted as to the feasibility and relevance of these change ideas.
In September 2019, the CPS Office of Equity partnered with the McDougal Foundation, which granted $60,000 to support the implementation of change ideas at schools. Six schools were awarded grants ranging from $5,000 to $20,000. The CPS Office of Equity would like to engage a consultant to document the implementation of six change ideas at six CPS schools across Chicago.
