Did you know?

Students in the UW-Oshkosh's teacher education program will end up completing 150 hours within the K-12 classrooms before the beginning of their student teaching experience.

Since we prepare our students earlier, this will allow our educators to work 1 on 1 with students as well as working side by side with mentors and teachers. Through SOEHS's commitment to Learn, Teach, and Inspire, students then graduate ready and prepared to make an amazing impact on the next generation of learners

96% of SOEHS alumni have reported that their time at UWO has effectively prepared them for long term career success. Our students have gained hands-on experience alongside all types of professionals in the classroom, this does not only derive from internships but community partnerships as well. Our students graduate every year ready to lead and teach. Go Titans!

A fun and insightful morning in the Elementary & Middle School Education program! 🍎📚

Current student teachers returned to campus to share their student teaching experiences with students in EDU 412 who will begin their placements this fall.
