Guidelines for completing a CES school profile:
→ Description: Share information about your school. Is it a district or charter public school? An independent school? What grades/ages do you serve? How can you best describe your student demographics? Is your school urban? Rural? Suburban? Does your school belong to any other school networks?
→ Essential Question: What is one essential question your school community is asking this year? This may be a question that everyone involved with your school pursues through coursework and independent inquiry, or it may be a question that guides school improvement efforts and professional learning. Some examples of whole-school essential questions from CES schools:
