Our Program

Our Program

While the UChicago Urban Teacher Education Program no longer offers its formal Master’s degree, our dedication to educator development remains strong. We now focus on offering professional development sessions, personalized instructional coaching, and creating a community that supports both new and experienced educators in urban schools.

We remain dedicated to helping teachers grow in trauma-informed teaching, culturally responsive pedagogy, and critical discussions on race, class, and unconscious bias. In addition, our community provides ongoing opportunities for leadership development, networking, and collaborative learning, ensuring that educators have the support they need to thrive in low-income and diverse school settings.

Continued Teacher Education

Alumni working in Chicago Public Schools receive continued teacher education that includes: mentoring, in-classroom coaching, alumni workshops, inquiry groups, teacher-leadership training, professional networking, funding for professional development, monthly first-year induction workshops, and specialized coaching.
