UW-Eau Claire's undergraduate elementary teacher preparation program has recently earned an “A” grade from the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) for its preparation of future teachers to teach elementary students to read.

The June 9 report from NCTQ spotlights UW-Eau Claire for excellence in meeting the standards set by literacy experts for coverage of the most effective methods of reading instruction. Programs were rated for preparation of aspiring teachers in all five components of scientifically based reading instruction, including phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension and vocabulary.

"The NCTQ rating validates UW-Eau Claire's continued approach to establishing strong connections between the university and our school district partners from around the Chippewa Valley," says Dr. Carmen Manning, dean of the College of Health and Human Sciences. "Our grade reflects the commitment of university faculty and K-12 staff working together to improve reading outcomes for all children."
