The Beaver Dam Unified School District’s mission is to educate all students, develop their unique talents and interests, and prepare them to be productive members of the world. A means to this end is to hire and retain high quality staff members. All Beaver Dam Unified School District teachers have a bachelor’s degree and are licensed by Wisconsin’s Department of Public Instruction. In addition, 50% of our teachers hold a master’s degree.
In accordance with the requirement of Section 1111 of Title I, for each school receiving Title I funds, parents of students in that school may request, and the District will provide the following information on the student's classroom teachers:
- Whether the teacher(s) have met the State qualification and licensing criteria for the grade level and subject areas they are teaching.
- Whether the teacher(s) is teaching under any emergency or provisional status in which the State requirements have been waived.
- The undergraduate major of the teacher(s) and the area of study and any certificates for any graduate degrees earned.
- The qualifications of any paraprofessionals providing services to their child(ren).
Teacher licensure can be checked by accessing the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction website. Information may also be requested through the District’s Human Resources Department at 920-885-7300 Ext. 1300.
The Beaver Dam Unified School District continues to place a high priority on hiring the most qualified teachers and providing continued support for their professional growth and development.
