The STEP-UP Fellows will be teaching in the Chicago Public Schools during weekday mornings.  By getting hands-on teaching experience in the classrooms, the Fellows will be able to develop the skills that they will be using in their future careers as urban educators.

Below are the Chicago Public Schools that will be working with the Fellows throughout the STEP-UP program.
