The TEACHER+PLUS Project (Teacher Education and Assessment Continuum for High-need Educators and Resources + Principal Leadership for Urban Schools) is a special initiative at Illinois State University.
The TEACHER+PLUS Project is open to all teacher education majors who have interests in pursuing employment in the Chicago Public Schools. The central goal of this initiative is to prepare teachers to work in this challenging urban context by providing them targeted course work, clinical experiences, and unique internship opportunities. Because the clinical experiences and internship opportunities are Chicago-based, the student will become gradually accustomed to the communities and schools they will be working in, as well as the students, parents, teachers, and community leaders who are inhabitants within these contexts.
