Educators from Wisconsin and beyond are invited to the UW-Madison School of Education (SoE) Early Career Teaching Institute, a one-week, in-person, intensive learning experience for pre-K-12 educators who are SoE alumni. Participants will have at least one year of teaching experience and plan to teach the subsequent school year.
The four-day institute invites educators to gather as a collaborative community committed to advancing justice in the classroom, deepening content knowledge, improving instruction, and sharing habits and practices for thriving in the teaching profession.
Participants receive:
- A $500 stipend for participation
- Room expenses paid for up to three nights
- Small-group engagement with educators in similar roles and subject areas. These interactive workshop strands are led by UW faculty/staff experts and provide opportunities for in-depth exploration and application to participants’ contexts.
- Whole-group learning experiences, such as writing and reflection exercises, keynote speakers, and engagement around approaches to sustainable teaching.
- Whole-group meals and social events. These gatherings provide participants and instructors with opportunities to connect within and across content areas and geographic regions.
- Opportunities for optional academic-year virtual programming
- The opportunity to receive a UW-Madison School of Education Certificate of Participation upon successful completion of all required components of the institute.
