Thanks To All Our Educators

This year, more than any in recent years, I want to thank each of our teachers for your ongoing commitment to our students and their hopes and dreams.

While so many forces seem to be working against us, you continue to keep your eye on the prize - our children. As tireless, relentless and tenacious advocates for our children, you continue to inspire and provide hope for so many.

Thank you for being there and making a difference for our students, our families, and our communities!

MTEC - On The Move Again!

The MTEC office is moving to the 3rd floor of the MPS Facilities and Maintenance Building (1124 N. 11th St). In preparation for the move the office will be closed on February 22nd and perhaps on Feb 23rd. We expect to be fully operational on Feb 27th. Our phone numbers and extensions will remain the same.

Visitors can access the parking lot from 10th Street just north of Highland. The building entrance is on the 11th Street side of the building. Note that exit from the parking lot requires entry of a code available from the MTEC office.

We are moving now so that the Sarah Scott building can be prepared for the arrival of the Wisconsin Conservatory of Lifelong Learning (WCLL) School next fall. We look forward to serving schools, districts and teachers from our new office.

MTEC Mourns Martin Haberman

Dr. Martin Haberman, primary founder of the Milwaukee Teacher Education Center (MTEC), died January 1, 2012. His passion for and dedication to our children, particularly our country's most under served children, was unwavering. The community of educators nationwide has lost a tower of a man. The MTEC Board and staff are deeply saddened by his passing and re-commit ourselves to carrying on his legacy by being tenacious, relentless advocates for our children. A celebration of Martin's life is being planned and will be announced shortly.

May Martin rest in peace.
