The Transformative Education Scholars Program (TESP) at Loyola University Chicago’s School of Education is designed to strengthen the PK–22 educational landscape by expanding the professional competencies of current educators and leaders. In alignment with Loyola’s Jesuit mission, the program seeks to address social inequalities and ensure all students receive high-quality support essential for academic success and well-being.

TESP operates through strategic partnerships with schools, districts, universities, and educational agencies. These entities form cohorts of 12–15 working professionals who enroll together in participating academic degree programs at Loyola. Eyeing accessibility, Loyola provides a 30 percent tuition discount to scholars.

Through these cohorts, Loyola increases the number of qualified educational professionals serving in schools and also cultivates a larger network of professionals dedicated to social justice and transformative practices within their local and global communities.
