We gratefully acknowledge the Spencer Foundation for its support of the Chicago Teaching Pathways Project. The Spencer Foundation is committed to supporting high-quality investigation of education through its research programs and to strengthening and renewing the educational research community through its fellowship and training programs and related activities.
We are also thankful for the support of the Joyce Foundation for its funding of the Alternative Chicago Teaching Pathways Project. The mission of the Joyce Foundation is to support policies that improve quality of life, promote safe and healthy communities, and build a just society for the people of the Great Lakes region.
A special thank you also goes to our colleagues at the UChicago Consortium on School Research for their data assistance and partnership, and the National College of Education at National Louis University for their support of this project and assistance with grant oversight and administration.
We’d also like to acknowledge the interest and enthusiasm from our colleagues in the Talent Office of Chicago Public Schools, and the many teachers who responded to our surveys over the course of the project.
