Program Description
The Center for Education Innovation at CESA #1 offers educators who completed their preparation outside of Wisconsin a way to meet the PI-34 statutory requirements of Conflict Resolution, Human Relations, and Environmental Education via texts, online resources, and examinations. These requirements must be met before the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) will remove the stipulation(s) from the educator’s license.
Individual Components
The Human Relations requirements are divided into four components and can be met via four examinations related to Women’s History and Gender Bias in Education, Native Americans in Wisconsin, Racism and Stereotypes, and Culturally Relevant Teaching. Candidates may take all four examinations or any one of the above examinations, depending on their past training and their current needs. Candidates will receive materials for all examinations. After reading the materials, the candidates take written examinations and submit them electronically to the Center where they are scored.
Conflict Resolution uses a series of online resources. After reading the information contained on the websites, candidates take a written exam, which they submit electronically to the Center where it is scored.
Environmental Education uses the text, Science 101: Ecology which is one in a series developed by the Smithsonian. After reading the text, candidates take a written exam, which they submit electronically to the Center where it is scored.
Results
Upon successful completion, a certificate will be mailed to the candidate. This should be included with their DPI license application materials.
