Calling Chicagoland teachers and administrators! The Teacher Advisory Council is a collaborative of formal teachers that act as a sounding board for ideas, questions and suggestions related to Shedd's student-focused programs and resources. It's a great opportunity for you to lend your voice, join the conversation and share how you think Shedd can make an impact in your community and school.
