| Welcome! I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our programs in the School of Education. Starting in January of 2009, I have been honored to serve as the new Director of the School of Education (SOE) at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. Our vision is to prepare teachers and other educators to be reflective practitioners who engage in evidence-based practice. This philosophy stems from the University’s long and distinguished history as an applied learning institution that values teacher education and is committed to practice based on research and evidence of student learning. |

Currently, the School of Education has 817 undergraduates and 317 graduate students enrolled in ten teacher education programs, two pupil service programs, three technical college education programs, six teaching minors, nine special certification/certificate programs, and one administrative program. Further, the SOE houses our Child and Family Studies Center (CFSC) in which over 80 part-time and full time children, ages six weeks to six years, are provided with a developmentally appropriate environment in which to learn. The CFSC also serves as a laboratory school for professional development in teacher education. Since its founding in July of 2003, our School of Education’s mission has been to engage in exemplary teaching, research, and service to ensure our graduates become successful educators in PK-12 and technical college settings. To achieve our mission, vision, and goals, we work hard to model evidence-based practices, anticipate future societal demands, and inspire innovation in this era of transformative change. Our vision, mission, goals and values will lead us forward. Jacalyn W. Weissenburger, Ph.D. Director, School of Education |
