Description

The Excellence in Teaching Program (ETP) is CESA 9’s educator preparation program. We offer DPI-approved pathways for people to obtain their initial teaching license or to add on additional license areas. Our pathways:

Post-Baccalaureate Initial License

Our three initial license pathways are designed for people with a bachelor’s degree (or higher) who are either employed on a license with stipulations within a district or are career changers who would like to become teachers. Each pathway consists of coursework in both an online and face-to-face setting, a clinical experience, and a capstone portfolio.

Add-on Licensure Pathways for Veteran Teachers

Reading Teacher 316 Certification
- The ETP Reading Teacher 316 license is designed for people who already hold a WI teaching license. Our 18-month licensure program consists of coursework, clinical experience, and a capstone portfolio. The coursework is grounded in the science behind how children learn to read. The research-informed content and practices embedded within the program will expand the teacher’s knowledge base and further prepare them to meet a wide range of literacy needs.
- New cohorts begin each November (more information)
3-Year District-sponsored License with Stipulations Portfolio
- The ETP has support for and review of the 3-Year District-sponsored License with Stipulations Portfolio for licenses we offer (see above). This license pathway is intended for a district’s current licensed staff members who are teaching outside of their license area. During this 3-year process, participants will engage with the CESA 9 ETP coaches to plan their growth, monitor their progress, and develop their portfolio, culminating in a portfolio review by the ETP team and endorsement for the new license
- Enrollment for this program is ongoing (more information)
