Skokie SD 69 finalizes grade‑level Chicago field trips and in‑school enhancements for 2025‑26
Summary
The CEFT Implementation Team finalized experiential field trips and in‑school curriculum enhancements for each grade for 2025‑26, aligning trips to instructional units and including Chicago institutions such as the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium and Adler Planetarium.
District staff reported that the CEFT Implementation Team reviewed and finalized field trips and curriculum enhancements for 2025‑26 to align with grade‑level instructional units. Examples listed by the team include the Field Museum for fourth grade, the Shedd Aquarium for sixth grade, and the Adler Planetarium for eighth grade, along with local experiences such as library and heritage museum visits.
The team also coded each experience for instructional purpose—experiential learning, service, problem‑based learning, connections to history and community, team building, mentoring/career exploration and cultural arts—and identified additional in‑school enhancements to implement in the 2025‑26 year. The Board received the implementation update as an informational item.
