About the Program
In 1999, a 75 person task force was established to review the UNK Teacher Education model. The team was made up of P-12 teachers and administrators, TE faculty, and Arts and Sciences faculty. They made a recommendation to develop a network of surrounding schools that would work with the UNK Teacher Education department to enhance outcomes for perspective teachers as well as P-12 students across Nebraska.
Today, the network is comprised of 24 school districts, ESU 10, and ESU 11.
Are you an administrator interested in having your school join the network? Contact Vic Young for more information.
