School of Education Student Council
Established
in October of 2005, the School of Education Student
Council (SOESC) is a fully recognized student organization
which was created to act as a student voice to School
of Education administration as well as assist students
in identifying professional goals and cultivating
skills to meet those goals.
Goals
The SOESC constitution specifies four main goals for the organization:
-
To provide a forum for students to interact with the faculty and administrators of the School of Education and voice their concerns for them;
-
To unify the students of the School of Education at all points in the teacher education program;
-
To show the University students' affiliation with their future professions and an affiliation with professionals and students that have similar goals and ambitions;
- To demonstrate that the administration and faculty of the School of Education are responsive to the needs of the students.
Activities
The SOESC
has been active within the School of Education as
well as the greater Milwaukee Community. The
SOESC intends to sponsor at least one social and one
service activity per semester along; other events
will be planned as the need arises. The SOESC
has been responsible for the creation and sales of
long sleeve t-shirts and tote bags, which were designed
to reflect pride in the School of Education.
Additionally, it has sponsored a drive for the Ronald
McDonald House and a "Faculty and Staff Meet,
Eat, and Greet," during which faculty were able
to meet and talk with students on a more personal
out-of-the-classroom basis. On an academic level,
the SOESC has worked closely with the Licensure Officer
and Director of Field Placements to compile a list
of directions (both for driving and via bus routes)
to many local schools. These directions will serve
as a reference tool for students completing field
placements at these locations.
The SOESC
is always looking for new opportunities and events
to sponsor for the betterment of the student population
in the School of Education.
Membership
The SOESC
invites any student in the School of Education who
has successfully completed EDUC 008 to be an officer
or member of the Council. The constitution requests
this as a courtesy that demonstrates both an affiliation
to the School of Education and an interest in becoming
a teacher.
The SOESC welcomes
all students, faculty, and staff to attend any meetings
and join in our discussions.
