Have you heard of ALTELLA? It’s a new project at WCER that helps states develop federally mandated assessments for English language learners with significant cognitive disabilities, a K-12 population largely overlooked in the U.S.
Learn what Madison Education Partnership researchers discovered about excused and unexcused absences in Madison’s public schools.
Nearly 2 million 2018 college graduates are readying themselves for the workforce, however, past or present, we know little about this life-changing transition to the world of work. Two new CCWT research projects take off to start filling in the blanks.

WCER Researcher Mark Connolly, shown with colleague Heather Belmont of Miami Dade College, served on a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine committee tasked with creating indicators to answer that question. He shares the main findings of the committee’s report, just released to the public.
U.S. News and World Report released its annual rankings of the top graduate schools and UW–Madison’s School of Education and many of its programs once again were recognized as being among the very best in the nation.
WCER and its projects host dozens of lectures, panel discussions and other events throughout the academic year.
