All
professional education programs at UW-Whitewater include a
variety of field experiences in schools and other agencies
designed to meet licensing requirements. These experiences
provide prospective teachers with opportunities to complement
their academic preparation with "hands-on" experiences under
the guidance of expert university and field professionals
and to decide if teaching is the right career for them. Research
on teachers makes it clear that field experiences, and especially
student teaching, are instrumental in setting the stage for
careers that are personally fulfilling and professionally
rewarding. The challenges facing tomorrow's teachers demand
that they take every advantage of their pre-service field
experiences to ready themselves for being effective teachers
in any type of setting.
