DePaul/Glenview Clinical Model Teacher Preparation Program
The Clinical Model Program is a collaboration between DePaulUniversity and Glenview District 34 that provides a three-year sequence in which candidates earn an elementary teaching certificate and a master’s degree in Teaching and Learning. Candidates participate in the GlenviewPublicSchool District as an intern for the first year and as a resident teacher for the following two years. Participants enroll in summer courses and evening courses during the school year. Tuition is paid by the GlenviewSchool District, and participants receive a stipend of approximately $10,000 during the internship year, and approximately $20,000 respectively, during resident 1 and resident 2 year. Candidates must be accepted to DePaul’s Graduate School of Education prior to applying to this program. Clinical Model information may be obtained by calling Roxanne Owens (773-325-4329). Program begins annually in June. See website or call for deadline dates (generally late February).
