Greetings:
On behalf of the faculty, staff, and
students in the
Professional Program in Education,
I would like to welcome you to our
website.
In collaboration with the
University of Wisconsin System; the
Institute for Learning Partnership;
and our colleagues in local schools,
agencies, institutions, and
organizations, we seek
to prepare candidates for the
teaching profession through a
high-quality, standards-based
teacher education program.
Furthermore, we
prepare candidates to serve
effectively the educational needs of
the region within the context of the
larger society. Our program builds
upon the Wisconsin Standards for
Teacher Licensure and is
characterized by:
|
|
-
A shared vision of teaching excellence
defined within a strong relationship
with faculty across the university and
the PK-12 schools
-
A rigorous core curriculum, including
field experiences, with a well-defined
scope and sequence based on identified
standards for practice and performance
-
A strong focus on content and pedagogy
-
A commitment to the integration of
technology throughout the curriculum as
an essential tool for learning in the
21st century.
-
The provision of extensive and intensive
field-based experiences working directly
with children and families from diverse
backgrounds.
-
An environment that promotes and
supports inquiry as the basis for
authentic learning.
-
Opportunities to demonstrate proficiency
through performance-based assessments
with clearly defined rubrics and
identified timelines.
-
A focus and commitment to effective
communication and ethical decision
making
|
|
Graduates of our program possess the strong
content knowledge and effective pedagogical
skills needed to successfully enter the
teaching profession at the Initial Educator
licensing level. As a faculty, we support
the knowledge, skills and dispositions that
ground the discipline of teaching.
Moreover, our graduates have
demonstrated their proficiency and
competence in both content knowledge and
pedagogical skill . |
