Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Supporting student learning is more important now than ever. Whether the instruction is in-person, virtual, or blended, educators are in high demand. CESA #1 offers many different opportunities for those interested in pursuing a new career path in teaching, adding onto current licensure, or in need of general license support.
Alternative Path to Teacher Licensure
If you have a degree and are interested in a new career in education, our Proficiency Based Licensure (PBL) Program might be a good fit for you. PBL is an educator preparation program, approved by the WI Department of Public Instruction, that provides a unique opportunity for people to begin or expand their teaching career while making a meaningful difference with students from the very first day! The mission of the PBL program is to fill critical teacher vacancies in high-need educational areas by offering an approved personalized route to teacher certification for qualified individuals. Candidates participate in hands-on, minds-on learning as they work toward completing licensure requirements.
PBL candidates participating in “The Integrated Experience," facilitated by Katie Berg MA Ed, during a weekly Learn and Share session.
Substitute Teacher Training
School districts are facing a critical shortage of substitute teachers this year. Paraprofessionals, career changers, or anyone who wants the flexibility to work in a variety of Wisconsin schools, could be a substitute teacher and have a tremendous impact on the future of students. We offer multiple Substitute Teacher Trainings throughout the year for those who hold a bachelor's degree or an associate's degree from an accredited institution. The two-day training provides a path for individuals to learn about the work, obtain a license, and discuss the license application process, employment, and professional networking.
“I LOVED all the resources and links! I was nervous about going into schools as a teacher and not knowing what to do, but after the training and hearing from other participants, I am actually excited to get started! This training was perfect for me because it was really user friendly and interactive - I learned so much!”
Additional Licensure Supports
In addition to the licensure program and substitute teacher training, CESA #1 supports educators who are looking to expand their license, convert out-of-state licensure, and much more. Learn more about the variety of license supports we offer by visiting the Educator Support section of our website.
