The mission of CUTD is to enhance school districts’ high-quality evaluation and teacher support processes to promote teacher performance improvement and retention.
Education serves as a strong foundation that enables every student to not only acquire new knowledge but also secure a better tomorrow. The Center for Urban Teacher Development, located in Chicago, Illinois, can help you enhance the quality of education in your institution. Our primary focus is the growth and development of new teachers; however, we support school districts, school leaders, and teachers in their endeavor to guide young people toward academic excellence and accepted social behavior.
Who We Are
The Center for Urban Teacher Development has a three-prong approach to this work; it consists of the following: a) work with school districts and their evaluation systems to identify ways to support school leaders, school-wide planning and strategic support for new teachers; b) provide quality professional learning opportunities and support to building leaders around new teacher support systems and school-wide performance improvement issues; and, c) provide coaching support to new teachers along with relevant and targeted staff development around core classroom management concepts.
