First ever Educator Prep Higher Education Partner Night
District 214 is pleased to announce the first ever Educator Prep Higher Education Partner Night, an evening in which our students and parents will have the opportunity to engage with D214 staff and representatives from NEIU, NLU, and other program partners around Educator Prep.
The event will take place at Forest View Educational Center on Thursday, October 5 from 7-8:30pm, beginning in the North Gym. It will consist of a set of presentations, student panels, and breakout sessions. The vision for the evening is that students and families who attend will be able to leave with a deep understanding of the opportunities made available to them at the secondary and post-secondary levels throughout Educator Prep and be able to make informed decisions as to their post-secondary options.
