EVERY CHILD DESERVES A GREAT TEACHER NCE partners with schools and districts, supporting success for all students
Since its inception , the National College of Education (NCE) at National Louis University (NLU) has prepared and supported educators in close partnership with schools and districts. NLU graduates can be found in virtually every capacity and school setting across Chicagoland and beyond. Education partnerships are central to the success of the National College of Education and its graduate and undergraduate students. It’s the work done in tandem with teachers and educators in affiliated schools and districts that ensures NCE programs are relevant, rigorous and current. » » NCE places student teachers in hundreds of area schools every year, using those experiences to help inform program innovation. » » Faculty conduct research on how learning works and how teachers can be better prepared, working to bridge the gap between research and practice. » » NCE leadership programs prepare future principals and superintendents, many of whom serve in high-needs schools.

In this issue, we’re highlighting seven graduates of the National College of Education (NCE) who have been recognized for their work as leaders in their fields. These individuals include early career teachers who have excelled in their first years in the classroom, to career educators and leaders. What these individuals have in common is a notable commitment to student success — and accomplishment that embodies the belief that all children can succeed. As educators, our obligation is to make sure every child can learn to the best of their potential, and that we provide the environment and support to make that teaching and learning possible.
