New Program in Elementary Teacher Education
The University of Washington College of Education is pleased to announce the initiation of a new program for preparation of Elementary (K-8) Education teachers for careers in diverse high needs schools. Developed collaboratively by university faculty and practicing teachers, the new program is designed to prepare teachers to respond effectively to the complex challenges of today’s public school classrooms. Several specific features of the new program are aimed at preparing new teachers to use best evidence-based strategies to provide equitable and effective opportunities for all children to learn. These features include:
A program-wide focus on issues of equity and academic excellence
First quarter community-based practicum in diverse, poverty-impacted communties
A full year of fieldwork in one of our network of diverse high needs schools in the greater Seattle region, taken concurrently with on-campus courses
Field-based “studio days” in which program faculty and partner school colleagues team to provide instruction in partner school classrooms
Continuous interweaving of coursework and fieldwork experiences, with particular focus on issues related to culturally responsive teaching, English Language Learners, and children with special educational needs throughout the program
Several features of the new program are also designed to provide more program flexibility to accommodate the diverse needs and interests of TEP students:
- Residency certification for teaching completed in one academic year
Individualized pathways for completing Masters degree requirements (beyond those for the basic teaching residency certificate), including specializations in English Language Learners, special education, math/science, reading and others.
