伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校-社区学院协作卓越教师准备是一项举措，旨在显着加强在伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校（UIC）完成职业课程的K-12教师的准备计划。合作涉及UIC和六个社区学院的合作伙伴，这些合作伙伴是UIC-威廉雷尼哈珀社区学院，奥克顿社区学院，奥利弗哈维学院，Triton学院，杜鲁门学院和哈罗德华盛顿学院转学学生的主要来源。该项目还与芝加哥公立学校和芝加哥周边地区的学区有着密切的联系。该协作强调七类活动：1）教师发展; 2）数学和科学课程和课程开发; 3）在教学的最初几年为数学和科学教师提供指导和上岗培训; 4）招聘和留住优秀的教师候选人，特别关注来自代表性不足群体的高素质候选人; 5）UIC，社区学院和学校之间更强的合作和衔接; 6）项目活动和产品的制度化和传播;以及7）研究和评估。

The University of Illinois at Chicago-Community College Collaborative for Excellence in Teacher Preparation is an initiative to significantly strengthen programs for the preparation of K-12 teachers who complete their preservice curriculum at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). The Collaborative involves UIC and six community college partners that are major sources of transfer students for UIC-William Rainey Harper Community College, Oakton Community College, Olive-Harvey College, Triton College, Truman College, and Harold Washington College. The project also has strong connections with the Chicago Public Schools and surrounding Chicago-area school districts. The Collaborative emphasizes activities in seven categories: 1) faculty development; 2) mathematics and science course and curriculum development; 3) mentoring and induction for mathematics and science teachers in their initial years of teaching; 4) recruitment and retention of outstanding teacher candidates, with a special focus on high quality candidates from underrepresented groups; 5) stronger collaboration and articulation between UIC, community colleges, and schools; 6) institutionalization and dissemination of project activities and products; and 7) research and evaluation.
