P-STEP (Pre-Service Teaching Equity Project) is Chicago Public Schools’ new student teaching program designed to improve and expand upon student teaching experiences and preparedness.
Available to a limited number of student teachers each year from our university partners, the P-STEP program matches participants with lead teachers and schools that are a great fit for their professional and personal goals and interests, all while supporting CPS’ mission to provide equitable educational experiences for students citywide.
The goals of the P-STEP program are to:
Improve and expand upon pre-service teaching experiences, including field experiences and student teaching opportunities in hard-to-staff schools.
Equitably place student teachers throughout CPS.
Improve the experience and efficiency of pre-service teacher preparation.
Improve the recruitment, training, and retention of experienced “cooperating teachers” of color to mentor/guide pre-service and new teachers.
Ensure/incentivize pre-service teachers from both underrepresented groups and those studying high-needs education subject areas accept full-time employment at hard-to-staff schools.
