At UNI, teacher education students learn to appreciate the work of teachers more than the average person when they get in the classroom and start teaching.
The University of Northern Iowa Social and Emotional Learning Conference returns on Friday, April 7, providing faculty, students and practicing professionals the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of social and emotional learning competencies, trauma-sensitive practices and self-regulatory behaviors.
UNI has created a program that will help Iowa teachers receive their computer science education endorsement thanks to a recent grant of nearly $1 million.
Two Iowa teachers earned recognition for their service to the field when they were recently awarded the University of Northern Iowa Dr. Robert E. and Phyllis M. Yager Exemplary Teaching Recognition Award.
The award is designed to highlight UNI graduates who have gone on to excellence as K-12 teachers in Iowa, and identify a UNI faculty member’s contribution to their success.
