The Office of Teacher Education carefully monitors the academic progress of all students with a declared major in education to insure that Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction requirements have been satisfied.

These credits will include completion of an Introduction Program Course, Foundations of Education Course, a written, personal philosophy of education, a Technology Course and the required English and speech courses.

Students will not be accepted into Teacher Education Program Benchmark I until they have passed the PPST in reading, writing and math, have minimum of 2.75 cumulative GPA, have an electronic portfolio on the WEB and passed the background check.
