EXHIBIT A Scope of Work
Statement of Purpose
The purpose ofthis Scope of Work is to identify the roles, relationships, and deliverables associated with the partnership between Northwestern University OCEP and Board of Education of City of Chicago, commonly known as Chicago Public Schools (CPS) with relation to implementation of the Chicago City of Learning initiative (CCOL).
Background
In 2013, Mayor Emmanuel created the Chicago City of Learning initiative to address the opportunity gap in Chicago by a) making out-of-school learning opportunities more visible to youth and caring adults, b) connecting youth to interest-based learning opportunities, and c) enabling youth to document learning experiences using digital portfolios.
A prior data-sharing agreement enabled students to activate their CCOL digital portfolios using their CPS email address and/or student identification number. Currently, approximately 100,000 CPS students have activated their CCOL digital portfolios.
Over the course of the initiative, CPS and CCOL staff have collaborated to raise awareness of CCOL and leverage its capacities to support learners and learning. To that end, CCOL staff have worked with teams from Teaching and Learning (with Shawn Jackson), Personalized Learning (with Kevin Connors), the Office of College and Career Readiness (with Alan Mather), CS4ALL (with Brenda Wilkerson and Lucia Dettori), and Family and Community Engagement (with Herald Johnson). Collaborations have included supporting student engagement in Month of Code through online activities provided through the CCOL platform, parent engagement in Parent University experiences through online activities and badging, and thought partner support for the competency-based learning pilot project.
The current Scope of Work focuses on the roles and responsibilities involved in maintaining basic operations of CCOL through the partnership between CPS and OCEP.
