About CORE
CORE, the Center for Ongoing Renewal and Enrichment, provides professional development and personal mentoring for Golden Apple Scholars of Illinois, which is the largest pre-service teacher-support program in the nation. It is a chance for camaraderie and professional growth among respected peers.Each summer, a four-to-five-day-residence CORE Conference is held at Saint Xavier University in Chicago. Golden Apple Scholars and colleagues who have completed their student teaching join teaching Scholars from across the state to enrich their professional lives as teachers.
The conference is organized, planned and facilitated by Golden Apple Scholars, Fellows, educational consultants and colleagues who plan the proceedings to meet the professional and personal needs of classroom teachers, following Illinois standards and providing Credits for Professional Development Units for recertification.
The CORE conference is open to all preK-12 teaching professionals. The conference provides seminars and fosters camaraderie, time for reflection, and exchange of teaching techniques to enhance the art and craft of classroom teaching.
