Northwestern University's Teaching, Learning, and Education Program is committed to developing a community of educators by collaborating with our educational community to advance a set of intersecting themes, which we refer to as our Guiding Commitments. The Guiding Commitments are the conceptual building blocks that enact our vision of transformative teaching and learning, nurturing beliefs in educational dignity and equity along with the ability to create educational environments that enact those beliefs.
Recognize that teaching grounded in equity and social justice is essential in rigorous learning of subject matter in any setting.
Understand human development as a process of maturation within a network of areas: physical, psychological, emotional, cultural, social, and political.
Learn about the community in which a school resides to inform relational and instructional interactions with students and families.
Support the growth of children's skills, competencies, and disciplinary understandings as connected to rigorous and meaningful activities.
In response to our current moment in history, we seek to develop educators who are prepared to form new social and cultural realities for all learners, and especially for those who have been underserved by various systems of education.
The SESP Summer Learning Series for Educators is designed to enhance your teaching skills and keep you at the forefront of educational innovations.
