Teaching and Learning
The Department of Teaching and Learning offers programs for bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees. We prepare teachers at the undergraduate and post-baccalaureate level to work in settings serving culturally and linguistically diverse children.
Department Programs
Teaching Wisconsin’s Teachers, Strengthening America’s Future
We are committed to social justice, equity and advocacy for children, youth and families. We educate students to be effective, evidence-based practitioners and leaders, prepared to serve diverse communities situated locally, regionally and globally.
At the undergraduate level, the department offers teacher education programs for Early Childhood (grades PK-3), Elementary and Middle Education (grades K-9), Early Adolescence Through Adolescence (grades 4-12), and Early Childhood Through Adolescence Level (PK-12), in regular and special education. We also offer American Sign Language/English Interpreting and American Sign Language Studies programs at the undergraduate level. At the graduate level, the department offers master’s degrees in Curriculum and Instruction (with multiple specializations) and Exceptional Education, certificates in a wide variety of specialty areas, and participates in the School-wide Urban Education Doctoral Program.
The Department of Teaching and Learning also offers a diverse and comprehensive offering of post-baccalaureate programs leading to teaching certification and licensure.
The Post-Baccalaureate term is used by the School of Education to describe students who already have an undergraduate degree but want to return to school to obtain a teacher certification in order to teach in Wisconsin Public Schools.
