Future Educators to Gather at 51ÁÔÆæ

School of Education News graphic

High school students, teachers and community partners will gather at 51ÁÔÆæ on Friday, Oct. 27, to learn about potential careers in education. Approximately 180 people have registered for the Future Educators Summit, which will be held in various locations on the 51ÁÔÆæ campus from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm.

The event will include high school students from regional chapters of Educators Rising as well as students currently involved in college-level education classes through 51ÁÔÆæ’s dual enrollment program.

The high school students will get a chance to talk to education faculty and students in a variety of education programs at 51ÁÔÆæ. Representatives from Milwaukee Area Technical College will be available to discuss pathways for students who want to start at MATC and complete their education degrees at 51ÁÔÆæ. Students can attend sessions on elementary and high school education. One panel from the Milwaukee Literacy Lab will focus on encouraging men of color to consider careers in early childhood education.

“This summit has taken off beyond our expectations, and we’re hopeful this can become a new tradition for high school students in the region to learn more about the teaching profession and 51ÁÔÆæ,” said Jeremy Page, assistant dean for student services in the School of Education.

Women’s Giving Circle 2023 Projects

The Women’s Giving Circle has made an ongoing investment in School of Education projects that support teaching and learning. At a Sept. 20 luncheon, members of the group got a chance to learn about how their investments are paying off in preparing teachers. 

The donor group was founded in 2006 to bring together women alumni and former and current teachers to pool their gifts for greater impact. During the 2023 year, the Women’s Giving Circle funded five projects that are continuing to support aspiring teachers and those who work with them. 

This year’s co-chairs of the group are Emily Robertson and Diane Thieme. At the luncheon, they announced the establishment of a fund to help students who may need extra support as they prepare for teaching careers. With the ongoing teacher shortage and the challenges of attracting students to the profession, the School of Education needs to do all that it can to support the students are dedicated to becoming teachers.  The fund would provide grants of approximately $500 to juniors and seniors majoring in education to help out with such unplanned expenses as breakdowns in transportation or childcare arrangements.

Videos Give Students an Expanded View of Teaching

Aspiring teachers can benefit from seeing how others approach the profession.  

That was the idea behind signing up for subscriptions to The Teaching Channel Video Library, according to Tara Serebin. She led the project, which was supported by a grant from the Women’s Giving Circle.

The Teaching Channel Video Library offers a wide range of options, covering multiple topics which can help students bridge the gap between what they’re learning in class and what actually happens in classrooms.   

The grant supported licenses for School of Education instructors and ad hocs that  they could use to share helpful videos with their classes. Videos or pieces of videos can also be embedded in hybrid classes, Serebin said, enhancing the content.  Many students are also granted licenses so they can do research on their own.

Topics explored in the videos touch on many of the issues students will deal with when they enter the profession.  Some examples include trauma-informed teaching, student engagement, classroom management, using the arts to support literacy, parent-student relationships, experiential learning, and teaching early literacy.   

In assigning a video, the instructor provides a common experience, from which a class discussion on the topic can be developed, said Serebin, with class members sharing their own similar experiences and debriefing on what they saw in the video. The videos can also help students troubleshoot issues they have in field experiences. The videos are being used in classes this fall, with plans to continue in the spring 2024 semester.   

“Videos can bring theory to life,” said Serebin.

English Education Program Redesigned

School of Education News graphic

When the Department of Public Education (DPI) shifted the requirements for certifying English Language Arts teachers because of state mandates, the School of Education’s English Education team chose to reimagine the program. K°ùŸ±ČőłÙŸ±ČÔ±đ LŸ±łú±đ, director of the English Education program, led the effort, with financial support from the Women’s Giving Circle for the part-time instructors’ book purchases necessary for this work. 

Kristine Lize, Teaching Faculty IV in Teaching and Learning
 K°ùŸ±ČőłÙŸ±ČÔ±đ LŸ±łú±đ

Key changes included the expansion of the program to prepare educators to teach students English Language Arts in grades 4-12 (previously grades 6-12) as well as prepare them to teach speech and journalism. The shift in grade-level meant an increased emphasis on reading instruction and vocabulary development. In addition, the program redesign considered the most recent scholarship as well as its longstanding focus on urban education and used the opportunity to ground the program in anti-racist teaching practices.   

As part of the redesign, instructors personally purchased new instructional resources for the methods courses. The Women’s Giving Circle was able to reimburse the instructors, all of whom redesigned the program and the courses without compensation, for the cost of these materials.   

Part of the work also involved developing methods courses and field supervision support grounded in culturally based practices, according to Lize. The team met weekly after working hours, on weekends, and during the summer months to collaborate on the program redesign.   â€Ż 

The project helped prepare aspiring teachers going through the program to be anti-racist educators and change agents.   

Project Works to Retain Aspiring Teachers

School of Education News graphic

The teacher shortage is urgent, especially in urban schools. When school started this year, more than 200 Milwaukee Public Schools didn’t have licensed teachers.

That’s why the project Angel Hessel, distinguished lecturer, and Liz Daniel, teaching faculty, are working on in an effort to retain students in the elementary and middle education programs. While “one program can’t solve all the problems,” said Hessel it’s vital to keep trying. Over her years of teaching, she’s had students tell her about a teacher that literally saved their life.” 

In the fall of 22, said Daniel, the Elementary Middle Education (EME) program saw a 30% decrease. Daniel asked, “Why did the program experience this decrease in teacher candidates?” The data and her question laid the foundation for the goals of the grant.  

To address the issue, the two faculty members selected student leaders from the program’s classes and recent graduates to help work on issues. The group met Saturdays, Sundays and some weekday evenings to address areas of strength and brainstorm specific changes to increase retention in the EME program. Hessel and Daniel shared the feedback at monthly EME program meetings.  

The students chose the acronym RISE (Retaining and Inspiring Student Educators) for their group.

“We wanted students in each class who were leaders and would be honest,” said Daniel. The project leaders also wanted to give students a voice as well as developing leadership skills.

Current EME students were provided with teaching resources that were intentionally selected to exemplify their current methods courses. One practicing teacher in the group, who like many teachers faced supply shortages in his classroom, used his grant funds to purchase 200 pencils.  

“We learned a lot about what inspires students,” said Hessel.  

Students shared feedback about being in the field all day, and then going to a lengthy seminar class, creating a 14-hour day. As a result of this feedback, Daniel took the lead in making a schedule change to fix this issue.  

Another idea that has come out of the project was creating a new teacher network to support those in their first years of teaching. They’ve had teachers tell them, said Hessel, “I’m in my second year of teaching and I’m ready to quit.” 

Students who are part of the grant are working on developing videos to support students throughout the EME program. The goal is to share the video tutorials in courses and feature them on the EME website. The RISE group is also working on planning a retention event for all current EME students on Dec. 10. 

Supporting Those Who Work With Student Teachers

School of Education News graphic

The teachers who share their classrooms with School of Education student teachers – known as cooperating teachers – play a vital role in preparing these students to take charge of their own classrooms when they enter the profession.

Anna Bierce, Clinical Experience Coordinator, and Jenny Brownson, Teaching Faculty for the Elementary and Middle Education program, designed a project to support and mentor these cooperating teachers in Milwaukee Public Schools and other Milwaukee area districts for the work they do with teacher candidates. â€Ż 

The project, which continues through December, 2023, included: 

  • Providing an existing Cooperating Teacher Verification Workshop for future cooperating teachers’ 
  • An advanced workshop that looked at ways to address equity issues including culturally relevant teaching and inequity in school communities’
  • Mentoring opportunities for cooperating teachers and 51ÁÔÆæ teacher candidates (such as co-planning or holding courageous conversations) within the school.  

“Cooperating teachers loved being part of the program,” Brownson said.

The Department of Public Instruction only requires one professional development workshop for cooperating teachers, said Bierce, but through the Women’s Giving Circle Grant 51ÁÔÆæ is providing the opportunity for more extensive professional development and activities to develop a larger and more prepared cadre of cooperating teachers.  

The project is also working to build closer ties between the university and the schools, so cooperating teachers and students can share ideas and experiences.  “We want to be true partners,” said Brownson.

Getting a Jump on the First-Year Experience

School of Education News graphic

When you start a building project, you need a tool kit.

Education students can also benefit from a “tool kit” that helps them begin to build their future career.

That’s the idea behind the School of Education’s Jumpstart First-Year Experience for education majors. The project, which has been in place for five years, helps students develop the tools they need to be successful at 51ÁÔÆæ and in the School of Education, said Jeremy Page, assistant dean of student services and one of the leaders of the first-year experience.

“We want students to be successful at the college level in a couple of key areas,” added Jackie Nguyen, associate professor and chair of educational psychology and the other leader. “One is self-efficacy and the other is fostering a sense of belonging.”

The experience also gives students a chance to get to know faculty, staff, advisors and other students in education, increasing their sense of belonging.

“It is nice to have the School of Ed students together because we are able to frame the toolkit through the lens of education, Nguyen added.

The Women’s Giving Circle, a group of donors who pool their contributions to support education research and programs, has funded the effort since it started as a pilot project in 2019.

Last year, more than 100 first-year education students took part in the experience, which has expanded its approach over the years and now offers one academic credit.

Students who have chosen or are considering majoring in education are grouped in sections of 10 to 15 people, depending on whether they plan to become elementary/high school teachers, early childhood educators or major in American Sign Language/English Interpreting. Instructors like Angel Hessel, distinguished lecturer in Teaching and Learning, and Pam Conine, clinical professor and director of the American Sign Language/English interpreting program, help out. Many of the facilitators who have been involved volunteer their time above and beyond their regular duties. In addition to faculty and other instructors, many School of Education advisors have been involved in the experience over time.

Students who are planning to teach can explore the major in general, and learn about specific aspects, Nguyen said. For example, they can talk about student teaching and how that will fit with their other studies and outside jobs.

The Jumpstart Experience is designed to be interactive, and responsive to student needs, according to Nguyen and Page.

“We’re asking them key questions like what’s going really well for you at 51ÁÔÆæ,” said Page. “What’s not going well, and what do you have questions about?”

In each section those answers may vary, he said. “So, we’re custom fitting it live in real time for the benefit of students.”

If a student is struggling in an area, said Page, “we can say let us introduce you to this office you didn’t even know existed on campus that can help you manage the moment that you’re in.”

The experience is not a course or a seminar, said Nguyen. It’s designed to be low stress without major assignments.

One project that First-Year Experience students do get involved in – and enjoy – is creating presentations for fellow students about topics that interest them and may be helpful to others.

Jeremy Page (white man), Assistant Dean of Student Services in Office of Student Services

“Learning about these topics with others was a great way to cross-pollinate the sections and for them to learn from each other as a whole in addition to what they’re getting section by section,” said Page.

For example, students created presentations on where to study on campus, how to get around Milwaukee on public transit and discounts available to students.

Or students can record quick study tips on their phones and upload them to Canvas to share with others. “Those recordings are fabulous,” said Nguyen. “They have so much fun with them and give great tips.”

Page and Nguyen are researching the impact of the Jump Start Experience, comparing students who choose to take part with those who don’t each year.

“We’ve been able to demonstrate that there is an impact on students, even for the relatively short period of time and touch points with them,” said Page. “They have gains in their confidence in their ability to do college.”

The School of Education’s First-Year Experience is highlighted in the university’s 2030 plan as a model of how to get students engaged in their major and the university.

“We see some positive changes in their feeling about attending 51ÁÔÆæ and being an education major,” Nguyen added.

More generally, the school has seen some impacts on student retention since the JumpStart First-Year experience started in 2019, according to Nguyen and Page. “We’re not saying this is the only cause, but we have a greater percentage of students who stay in the major and stay at 51ÁÔÆæ compared to the time before we had this experience,” said Page.
