Age of change in Madison

Noted: In the summer of 2015, MMSD and the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Education, in a partnership known as Forward Madison (supported in part by a $1.2 million grant from CUNA Mutual Foundation), launched its TEEM Scholars program, in which eleven high school sophomores are preparing to enter UW–Madison and become teachers, with guaranteed employment at MMSD when they return. The program also provides mentoring support for every new teacher in the district plus leadership coaching for new principals. And with its planned Personalized Pathways program, intended to expose students to viable careers, coursework has been revamped.
