“Past the doors of any school”

According to data released by Chicago Public Schools, the 2008 Five Year Cohort Dropout Rate was 43%. This means that 4 out of every 10 students in the Chicago Public School system will not graduate from high school.

Project 43 is an intense introspective approach to addressing one of the most pressing issues facing urban education: the high drop out rate experienced by many underprivileged schools and districts across the nation.


Participants will learn through a series of community immersion activities, workshops, and discussions about the causes and outcomes of the drop out rate in our nation’s most disadvantaged areas, and also how to address this issue within their future classrooms. As future educators, it is important to not only be aware of what factors contribute to the drop out rate but also how to empower students to overcome those factors.

Project 43 is important for teachers of all grade levels. Empowering students to embrace their education at the primary grades is one of the most effective ways to counter the high school drop out rate. Many students who choose to drop out have reading and math scores multiple grade levels below their respective grade.

Once your group has chosen one of the above Project 43 Levels, a UNITE staff member will work with you to create and customize a schedule that fits your group’s needs and time frame. UNITE will work with you to maximize the learning experience within the desired amount of time so your participants will gain experience and knowledge upon completion of your Project 43 program.
