It's official:
The U.S. Department of Education has announced that Chicago’s new Pre-Service Teaching Equity Project, or P-STEP, will receive a roughly $1.1 million Teacher Quality Partnership grant over the next several years. This project will ensure that schools work more closely with faculty at local college teacher preparation programs to support student teachers. In partnership with Chicago State University, Northeastern Illinois University and DePaul, the program will focus on pairing veteran teachers of color with student teachers and better supporting the mentors as well as the new teachers. The goal: more diverse novice educators qualified to teach hard-to-staff subjects accepting permanent jobs with the district.
