NEIU and CPS Partnership

Northeastern Illinois University is excited to announce the continuation of its Chicago Public Schools (CPS) partnership with the CPS Continuing Endorsement Program. The Continuing Endorsement Program offers CPS teachers a pathway to earn Illinois teaching endorsements. 

This collaborative project between the TED and TESOL departments, along with the College for Graduate Studies & Research and CPS, helps practicing teachers in CPS attain their ESL and/or bilingual endorsements.
