CTD School Services
Individual schools have the opportunity to collaborate with CTD to benefit their faculty and provide their advanced students the best services possible. CTD is able to help schools and families identify a diverse group of high-ability students, monitor these students’ achievement and growth, and provide exceptional programming to fully develop their talents. CTD’s School Services team members are available to work with schools and districts to develop a package which meets their needs including, but not limited to: professional development; programming for students and parents; policy development; and assessment and growth monitoring.

The Civic Education Project (CEP) offers one-day, two-day, four-day, and one-week program models which can be custom- tailored for schools, districts, and organizations who want to offer their students opportunities to engage in meaningful service, learn about pressing social issues, and develop skills for leadership and civic engagement.
These custom-designed programs allow schools, districts, foundations, and other organizations who often lack the time, resources, or expertise to offer quality service-learning opportunities for their students. This is also a great way for educators to gain an introduction to service-learning best practices they can implement in their own classrooms.
To learn more or to arrange a consultation, contact CEP at
cep@northwestern.edu.
