Place-Based Learning Specialist
2 months ago
Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is one of the largest school districts in the United States, serving over 320,000 students in 600+ schools and employing nearly 40,000 people, most of them teachers. CPS has set ambitious goals to ensure that every student, in every school and every neighborhood, has access to a world-class learning experience that prepares each for success in college, career, and civic life. In order to fulfill this mission, we make three commitments to our students, their families, and all Chicagoans: academic progress, financial stability, and integrity. Six core values are embedded within these commitments - student-centered, whole child, equity, academic excellence, community partnership, and continuous learning.
Located within the Office of Teaching and Learning (T&L), the Department of Student Voice & Engagement (SVE) leads the district's inclusive and responsive education strategy that aims to ensure all aspects of schooling in CPS are inclusive of and responsive to the lived experiences of our students, and includes young people as key stakeholders in making decisions that impact them. An important aspect of the Department of Student Voice and Engagement's strategy is to improve learning by centering identity, relationships, and community.
The Department of SVE also manages the Calumet Is My Back Yard (CIMBY) program, an environmental service learning and student leadership development program that has worked with high schools on the south side of Chicago for over 20 years. CIMBY connects youth to nature by facilitating authentic, place-based learning experiences with Chicago Public High School students and teachers, empowering students through extensive stewardship and leadership experiences, and supporting teachers to engage their students in rich experiential education and civic engagement strategies. CIMBY students play a pivotal role in the Calumet region and beyond - improving local communities and natural areas, and fostering a deeper civic responsibility on Chicago's south side.
Job Summary:
The Place-Based Learning Specialist will develop and implement action plans to support "problem, project, and place-based" experiential learning in high school as a means of civic learning and engagement with Chicago Public Schools. In collaboration with SVE colleagues, this position will assist with making continued advancements in service learning across the district, supporting schools and educators in integrating projects into their science classrooms, supporting interested schools in a school-wide civic learning focus, and broadly advocating for our localized, culturally relevant civic learning approach. In addition, the Place-Based Learning Specialist will coordinate with community organizations and various CPS departments to increase opportunities for CPS students to experience high-quality community-based service learning. This position will report to the Inclusive, Responsive Education Manager.
The Place-Based Learning Specialist will be held accountable for the following responsibilities:
- Collaborate with colleagues within SVE and across departments in the Office of Teaching & Learning to advance place-based experiential learning in science classrooms, with a goal of expanding experiential, place-based learning opportunities to support learning in additional subjects
- Collaborate with subject-matter experts, content and curriculum teams and leaders across T&L to ensure experiential learning opportunities support accurate, coherent, unified messaging in alignment with the mission and vision of the specified content area
- Develop, improve, and maintain environmental project-based, place-based curriculum and instructional resources designed for CPS Skyline curriculum, and support the integration of community and place-based projects as integrated enrichment learning for existing curriculum

- Work closely with students and teachers to support the development of inquiry-to-action projects, including organizing timelines, tools and resources to support teachers in coordinating inquiry-to-action projects with their students.
- Provide support to participating teachings through leading a professional learning community to support place-based learning strategies and ensure the deliverables of this grant-funded program are met
- Connect community-based organizations, local advocates, and decision-makers to student groups through inquiry-to-action service learning project implementation - extending place-based explorations to the community to support students in understanding broader issues that directly impact students and their families.
- Build environmental literacy through place-based curriculum extensions, using the school grounds as spaces to explore resilience and adaptation as it relates to the content (ex: extreme weather and climate change).
- Connect sustainable infrastructure improvements to classroom learning experiences so that students in a single school build context throughout their multi-year high school career for real-world applications of adaptation and resilience strategies.
- Develop a system through which school groups can facilitate and participate in curriculum-based field experiences which:
- Focus on environmental issue areas, including but not limited to environmental justice, environmental health, biodiversity, and climate change
- Link students to local experts, community-based organizations, local advocates, and decision-makers to provide students with timely perspectives on issues they are studying
