The retention and effectiveness rates of ISU CTEP graduates are extremely high due to the aforementioned intense preparation, as well as continued support. Once ISU student teachers graduate we hope they choose to teach in Albany Park schools. Student teachers work under two cooperating teachers in two different schools in the community during the year, attend classes at CTEP, and are visited by a site coordinator to ensure they are developing appropriately.

Or they can chose to do Professional Development School, which is a year-long internship consisting of two phases. Pre-service teachers can opt to do Traditional Student Teaching, which consists of sixteen weeks of a student teaching with a cooperating teacher and evening seminars at CTEP that expand student teachers knowledge on relevant topics with housing options available in the community. ISU Education students are then placed in our area schools to complete their student teaching. These internships and home stays steep students in our community culture, make them more effective student teachers, as well as provide community organizations with needed assistance. NRC has partnered with community organizations throughout our service area to place new student teachers in internships. STEP-UP is a 4-week teaching and community internship and summer residency program for pre-service teachers from Illinois State University. ISU Education students also become familiar with the NRC service area through STEP-UP (Summer Teacher Education Partnership for Urban Preparation) program. These visits acquaint prospective teachers with the area, and promote our diverse and dynamic community its schools, businesses and organizations. ISU Education students come here to observe classes, engage in school activities, receive community tours, and participate in community projects.

At the NRC we work closely with ISU professors and student teachers, as well as local schools and community organizations to coordinate learning opportunities or clinical site visits in the North River service area. North River Commission is NCUE’s chosen community partner in Albany Park. The Pipeline has carefully constructed and refined a model of pre-service professional development for urban teachers that demonstrate the value of community-based partnerships to enhance shared educational goals. NCUE is grounded in social justice and works to cultivate and sustain innovative, resilient, and effective educators for urban schools and their communities. NRC partners with Illinois State University’s Chicago Teacher Education Pipeline or National Center for Urban Education (NCUE) to connect education majors to Chicago Public Schools and our neighborhoods, which encourages them to choose Albany Park schools for their first teaching positions.
