Welcome to the UW-Madison School of Education. I encourage you to explore our virtual home to find out more about the School and its key strengths: outstanding faculty, staff, and students in education, the arts, and human services; outreach activities benefiting citizens throughout the state and nation; and innovative research that year after year wins significant federal, state, and private support.
Long recognized as a leader in education, today the School is addressing some of society's most critical needs. Through partnerships with Professional Development Schools, we're preparing future teachers to succeed in diverse urban settings. Through research and innovative programs such as System-wide Change for All Learners and Educators (SCALE), we're helping children improve their skills in reading, mathematics, and science. Through distance-education initiatives such as the Master of Science for Professional Educators, we're helping teachers meet new challenges and grow professionally.
We're also addressing issues that reach beyond the K-12 classroom. Research conducted in the kinesiology department, for instance, is contributing to the understanding and treatment of widespread health problems such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and traumatic brain injury.
These are just a few examples of the fine work that's being done in the School of Education. We're always happy to share information about our people and programs, and we invite you to visit us at any time, online or in person.
