TEACH : T.E.A.C.H.® Scholarship Models
TEACH : T.E.A.C.H.® Scholarship Models
Credential Scholarship
Scholarship recipients have two years to complete the coursework required of one of the following four credentials now available. Upon completion of coursework a portfolio or "final project" is presented to The Registry commission which awards the following credentials:
This is the most versatile of all scholarships; recipients contract to complete 3 to 8 credits of core curriculum Early Childhood Education courses in a one year (3-semester) time period. Scholarship recipients might use this model to: meet entry-level licensing requirements, satisfy training required for a CDA (Child Development Associate) Credential or the Wisconsin School Age Credential, test one's comfort with re-entering school, take courses for enrichment purposes or to strengthen an aspect of one's work, complete coursework needed to finish a degree, or achieve the Registry level needed to be eligible for the R.E.W.A.R.D.™ Stipend Program. Coursework should be taken at Wisconsin technical colleges, unless students have previously completed an Associate Degree, in which case courses may be taken at a Wisconsin university or private college. The 3-8 Credit Model can be used only twice.
Important Note: The 3-8 Credit Scholarship Model has a "limited support option." In this option, a program's financial commitment is less and in turn the scholarship recipient makes a one-year commitment to the field, but not necessarily to their sponsoring program. Call our office for more information on this option.
Associate Degree Scholarship and Bachelor Degree Scholarship
These scholarships are for early childhood and school age professionals pursuing an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education, or for those applicants who have previously completed an Associate Degree and wish to pursue a Bachelor Degree in Early Childhood Education. School age providers can pursue a degree in Elementary Education, Recreation or Physical Education. Scholarship recipients contract to complete 9-18 credits or 19-plus credits in a one year (3-semester) time period. In addition to core curriculum courses in early childhood education, students may use scholarship funds for one general education course per scholarship contract. Scholarship contracts may be renewed once per year as funding allows and sponsorship of one's program continues.
Scholarship recipients have two years to complete the coursework required of one of the following four credentials now available. Upon completion of coursework a portfolio or "final project" is presented to The Registry commission which awards the following credentials:
- Infant Toddler Professional Credential consists of 12 credits. This specialization can provide an excellent introduction to the care and education of infants and toddlers, or may complement a degree already earned.
- Professional Credential for Child Care Administrators consists of 18 credits. This specialization can be helpful to both new and veteran directors and administrators, family child care providers and school-age care administrators. This credential may complement a degree already earned.
- Professional Credential for Preschool Teachers consists of 18 credits, representing five courses selected from the Wisconsin Technical College Statewide Curriculum for an Associate Degree, plus a capstone experience. This credential could be an entry point for achieving an Associate (AA) degree. This credential may also be achieved by those who've recently completed an AA degree; contact The Registry for more information, 608-222-1123.
- Inclusion Credential consists of 12 credits. As the newest credential, this specialization is designed to build the skills, knowledge, resources and attitudes to successfully work with all children, including those with special needs.
