UW-Milwaukee earned an A+ rating, distinguishing it as one of only three institutions in Wisconsin dedicating sufficient instructional time to essential math topics. The NCTQ evaluated 22 elementary teacher preparation programs across the state, assessing their focus on key areas such as numbers and operations, algebraic thinking, geometry and measurement, and data analysis and probability. Alongside UW-Milwaukee, the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh also received top marks for their comprehensive math education curricula. This recognition underscores UW-Milwaukee’s dedication to equipping future educators with the robust mathematical foundation necessary for effective teaching.
