Almost 25 percent of Wisconsin fourth graders lack basic math knowledge
NCTQ evaluated 22 elementary teacher prep programs in Wisconsin to determine if they dedicate enough time to key math content topics and math pedagogy.
The report found 14 percent of the state’s programs earned an “A+” or an “A” by dedicating at least 135 instructional hours to numbers and operations, algebraic thinking, geometry and measurement, and data analysis and probability.
Those schools were the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point; UW-Milwaukee and UW-Oshkosh.
Four schools received an “F,” which means they are dedicating fewer than 90 instructional hours to math content topics and math pedagogy.
Those schools are: Alverno College’s undergraduate and graduate program, Carthage College, UW-Platteville and Wisconsin Lutheran College.
