CPS Student Teacher Professional Development Workshops The CPS Student Teacher Program is excited to announce the launch of our Student Teacher Professional Development Workshop Series. The program has formalized a partnership with Urban Needs in Teacher Education (UNITE), who will assist in the facilitation of the workshop series. UNITE is focused on preparing teachers at all levels with knowledge, skills and experience to be confident urban educators. Workshops are exclusively for CPS student teachers and are hosted throughout each semester. Topics include classroom management, grant writing, inclusion and other relevant areas of interest. Workshop themes are based primarily on student teacher feedback and are driven by our Student Teacher Exit Surveys. The primary goal is to provide enrichment and development in areas of interest as identified by our current and previous student teachers. Workshop attendance is not required and registration is done on a first-come, first-serve basis. Students are encouraged to attend any and all workshops of interest to gain insightful knowledge about best practices in education.
