Student teaching in Chicago Public Schools will equip you to teach in any setting following graduation. Students participating in Chicago Semester are placed with amazing mentor teachers committed to urban education. Whether you see yourself always working in urban education or not, this is an experience that will stick with you personally and professionally for years to come. Chicago Semester may also be exactly what helps you land that first full-time job after graduation; educators consistently state that students are more marketable after having an urban education experience. Kristin Erickson, a CS alum, says, “Student teaching in Chicago looks amazing on a resume. Administrators look at you and say, ‘You taught in Chicago? Tell me about that!’” Ready to start your student teaching placement in Chicago?
