The UChicago Urban Teacher Education Program believes that hands-on, lifelong learning is foundational to effective public education. Our work is grounded in a vision by several important beliefs: Relationships are foundational to teaching and learning. In turn, teaching and learning only occur in dialogue with others, including students, families, communities, and colleagues.

Critical awareness and analysis promote social justice. Today, more than 90 percent of UChicago Urban Teacher Education Program graduates remain teaching in low-income communities after five years compared with 50 percent of teachers nationwide. The two-year MAT program includes a full year of foundational and academic coursework paired with community fieldwork, training in trauma-informed teaching practices, and opportunities and space devoted to fostering reflection on and critical conversations about race, class, and unconscious bias.

It also includes a full year of residency placements—clinical preparation in two different school settings—coupled with subject-specific coursework.
