licensure programs for dual early childhood regular education (PK Teachers with a regular Wisconsin teaching license may enhance their
professional knowledge and practice through the master's degree in Curriculum
and Instruction. In both the undergraduate and graduate programs, our goal is to encourage teachers to become caring intellectuals who promote the well-being and growth of their students and think deeply about teaching and educational issues. We provide opportunities for preservice and inservice teachers to become well-educated in culture, subject matter knowledge, learning theories, and diverse groups and skillful in creating curriculum and using different pedagogical strategies to foster learning among a variety of students. Finally, our goal is that teachers become skillful practitioners, reflective professionals, and change agents in their schools and communities.
