Program Description

The Teacher Education Program offers degrees in elementary education and secondary education, with many areas in which to specialize. The programs prepare you for licensure in Wisconsin, and the degree is acceptable in many other states. We also offer high-quality Master of Science in Education Degree programs in reading, instruction, counseling and special education. 

The Teacher Education (TED) programs are designed around a set of well-defined standards which, when attained by students, lead to a strong preparation for teaching at the elementary or secondary level. These competencies build upon the liberal education background of the students. The liberal education emphases on the campus are also incorporated in the TED programs.

Students are involved in a wide range of learning activities combining theoretical concerns with practice accomplished through a variety of field experiences. Students are introduced to the classroom early in their professional training and continue to accept more responsibility throughout their program, culminating with the assumption of major responsibility for a class in the student teaching experience.

 The programs attempt to model the kind of learning environments we expect our graduates will create in the elementary and secondary schools.

Students also have the opportunity to enhance their educational experience by studying abroad:
