Our highly acclaimed science education degree program, Milwaukee Area Collaborative Science Teacher Education Program 2.0, is now using videoconferencing technology so future mathematics and science teachers can participate in real-time classes from home or their school, using a camera on their computer and a reliable Wi-Fi connection in order to Zoom into class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be interacting with a cohort of certification students and the instructors, while working through modules and assignments in order to complete course credits and fieldwork experiences.
