Transforming Vision
into Action.

The Chicago Teachers’ Center at Northeastern Illinois University (CTC@NEIU) develops collaborative partnerships that engage entire communities to help students succeed both academically and socially. Founded in 1978, CTC is an innovator in creating model programs that translate visions for school improvement into concrete action. As an academic educational unit of Northeastern Illinois University’s College of Education, we are in a unique position to respond to the needs of these communities.

Freshman Connection is a summer transition program that was developed through GEAR UP and later adopted by Chicago Public Schools.
