They\u2019d taken the freshman seminar, and some had taken an Introduction to Teaching course, but hadn\u2019t yet joined the professional program.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLast year, we were talking about ways in which we could keep students who had expressed an interest in education and had maybe had an initial touch point in education, but there was a gap before they actually started the professional program,&#8221; said Serebin.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u202f\u201cIt was a conversation about how we keep them connected to the program,\u201d added Hessel.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hessel and Serebin organized the first aspiring teacher event, held last year.\u202f It was attended by approximately 50 students and 20 staff and faculty members.\u202f Based on that success,\u202fthe organizers decided to do it again this year.\u202f\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat we learned last year was that it was as impactful as an event for faculty as it was for students,\u201d said Hessel.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A survey after last year\u2019s program showed overwhelmingly positive responses.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"uwm-f-quote\"><blockquote>&#8220;What a phenomenal way to make connections and reignite our teaching passion.\u201d\u202f\u00a0<\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI learned something from every moment\u201d, one student wrote on the survey. \u201cBeing a pre-service teacher it was all beneficial,\u201d wrote another. \u201cI wish I had something like this when I was starting,&#8221; wrote a former student who was a presenter. &#8220;What a phenomenal way to make connections and reignite our teaching passion.\u201d\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the survey, what impacted the aspiring students most last year, was a panel of student teachers as well as classroom teachers talking about their work. The panelists offered advice based on their experiences and discussed the challenges with honesty.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne thing that surprised us in a good way this year,\u201d said Hessel, \u201cTara and I could not believe how many student teachers signed up for the panel. They want to give back, and that\u2019s a good sign.\u201d\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" data-id=\"8842\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2024\/04\/AspiringTeachersSpring24-Students-750X500.jpg\" alt=\"Participants of Aspiring Teachers Connect event sitting at tables.\" class=\"wp-image-8842\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2024\/04\/AspiringTeachersSpring24-Students-750X500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2024\/04\/AspiringTeachersSpring24-Students-750X500-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" data-id=\"8841\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2024\/04\/AspiringTeachersSpring24-DeAnn-750X500.jpg\" alt=\"Aspiring Teacher Event -
