Urban Teaching Practicum Seminar Discussion

Program Director Emily Nelson says, “This discussion gives our student teachers the opportunity to share their concerns and questions about teaching with teaching professionals who came to the city through Chicago Center, found jobs, and have successfully made the transition to having their own classrooms, navigating not just a new school but the CPS system. The support current student teachers gain for their own ambitions through the alums’ experiences is invaluable.”
