This report called on CPS to, among other recommendations:
1) consider extending the school day to create more time for core literacy instruction and additional time for students who are behind,
2) pilot and assess impact of more fluid structures for teacher collaboration and small group Instruction, and
3) Develop school prototypes, including schedules and staffing models, that would enable principals and teachers to accelerate learning for students who are farthest behind.
