CBTE Milwaukee Cohort Now Accepting Applications
MLC is excited to partner with St. Marcus to offer a CBTE cohort for Milwaukee-area faculty, staff, and supporters for our Lutheran Elementary Schools. The cohort will start their classes in January 2025 and meet in person at the St. Marcus North campus once a week for one hour. Learners will complete two classes each term, and most of their coursework will be completed online.
This cohort is also piloting something new. The courses offered will support those who are not licensed teachers but want to be able to better serve their home congregation or school and those who are licensed teachers already serving in our Lutheran Elementary Schools. Learners in this cohort will complete most of their courses together. In the final term of classes, learners who do not yet have a teaching license will be enrolled in THE 4001 Lutheran Confessional Writing, and the learners who do hold a teaching license will be enrolled in EDU 9540 Principles of Christian Education.
