MMABSE honors 8 MTEC graduates
At the 6th annual Teacher Of The Year Recognition Gala on May 2, 2008, MMABSE honored 120 teachers. Eight of those teachers were graduates of the MTEC program - Itza Espinoza, Bernarda Santos, Mary Sonsalla, Tasha Henderson, Phebe Smith, Silvia Robertson, Charles Harris and Koroush Hassani. MTEC joins MMABSE in congratulating those teachers who have demonstrated excellence in teaching Milwaukee's children.
WPRI finds that MTEC teachers rate their preparation higher than those trained in other programs.
"Teachers trained at MTEC rated their preparation to teach in MPS higher than did the teachers in all the other programs. Nearly 78 percent of the MTEC teachers felt well-prepared to deal successfully with diversity in their classrooms, and nearly 73 percent felt they had sufficient management skills. Eighty percent of MTEC teachers felt well prepared to work in a large urban district like MPS." Read the full report at the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute
