Teacher Education Advising
Teacher education advising is a collaborative process. The advisor and student work as a team to develop a successful mentorship. Both the advisor and the student have important responsibilities in developing and maintaining this teamwork. The teacher education advisor will determine what other team members should be assigned to the advising team based on the teacher candidate’s chosen major and/or pathway. All admitted UW‐Parkside teacher candidates, in good standing, can indicate their intent to enter the educator preparation program by declaring their plan with the teacher education advisor by filling out a plan declaration form.
IMPORTANT
All students must meet with the teacher education advisor for curricular and program requirements. Rules and regulations for the EDU program change often by the State of Wisconsin and any other source of advising cannot be guaranteed to be correct.
