solution. Students are allotted 400 print counts per semester; each black-andwhite page is one count and each color page is five counts. Additional print
counts may be purchased in the library for $0.10 each. Each time a student prints,
they are alerted of their print count and must confirm the print job.

University Background
Founded in 1937 by the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi, Cardinal Stritch
University is a not-for-profit, comprehensive, and coeducational institution
of higher-education.
Stritch now serves students of all faiths and ages in four colleges:
College of Arts and Sciences
College of Business and Management
College of Education and Leadership
Ruth S. Coleman College of Nursing
Stritch served 4,400 undergraduate and graduate students in 2013-14 in
traditional daytime, evening and online formats.
College of Education and Leadership:
A Rich History and Stellar Reputation
With more than 75 years of experience, the College of Education and
Leadership at Cardinal Stritch University offers more than 10 degree
programs in education and leadership, at the bachelor’s, master’s and
doctoral levels, as well as extended certifications for teachers and
administrators.
The college is a recognized leader in teacher preparation and prepares
more new teachers and administrators than any other private college in
Wisconsin.
What is the Franciscan Tradition?
Franciscan Values
St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226 AD), the founder of the Franciscan tradition,
acknowledged God as creator and all humankind as made in the divine image. Nourished by lives
of prayer and reflection and focused on the example of Jesus, they offer models of cooperation and
inclusivity.
In this spirit, we invite persons of diverse faith backgrounds to embrace and live the
Franciscan values of our University, which are:
Creating a Caring Community
Showing Compassion
Reverencing All of Creation
Making Peace
Cardinal Stritch University
In the Franciscan Tradition
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The rose window icon is based upon a rose window found at the Basilica of Saint Clare in
Assisi (Italy), honoring the rich past of Stritch and the legacy of
the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi.
“The rose window logo is an announcement to the community that Cardinal Stritch
University is moving forward boldly to meet the challenges of the 21st century learner. Our
75th anniversary year has been a wonderful occasion to celebrate our past, and is an
appropriate point at which to introduce this new logo as part of the University’s next
chapter. But as we do, the tireless work of the Sisters is honored in everything that the rose
window represents.” Dr. James Loftus, President
During 2013, the rose window became the official logo of Cardinal Stritch University.

Use LiveText to store files (File Manager)
LiveText users have a way to upload and manage files independently without having to create
documents in the system, like a flash drive. The File Manager allows users to upload and manage
external files and images such as Word, Excel, PDF, PowerPoint, and text files in one centralized location.
Basic navigations in the File Manager allow users to manage, rename and/or delete files, as well as
create and manage labels. This feature is located under the Tools tab.

The file automatically uploads. Once the file is uploaded to the File Manager, a "Completed"
message appears under the file's status. To remove, click the Remove button located across
from the file name.

Master of Arts in Teaching /Master of Art in Inclusive Education Program
Policies for Field Experience and Student Teaching Placements:
All initial certification teacher candidates must complete 100 or more hours of field experience in schools during their
program to qualify for student teaching. Previous experiences do not qualify; substitute teaching does not qualify.
Professional educators are qualified to teach all students. Placements are made with the intention of giving the teacher
candidates multiple experiences that will shape their professional development. Experiences in the field in Stritch teacher
preparation programs will provide some of those experiences.
The placements will be determined by Cardinal Stritch University based on the following factors:
1. Candidate’s certification area
2. experiences with children in a variety of grade levels
3. experiences with children from different socio-economic levels
4. experiences with children from a variety of cultures
5. experiences with children with varying degrees of academic, social, emotional and physical abilities
Overall, the teacher candidate’s placements are in a variety of urban, suburban and rural environments.
Placements may be in public, charter or private school environments.
Field experience and student teaching placements will be within approximately 25 miles one-way from the Cardinal Stritch
University area / Stritch site area.
To avoid potential conflicts of interest, teacher candidates will not be placed in schools where they or their family members or
close friends attend/ed or are employed - or with which they or their family members or close friends have/have had an
affiliation as part of a related organization (i.e. school board, district partner organization). Exceptions may be requested in
cases of large districts with numerous schools (public districts in areas of large population such as Milwaukee and Madison).
Candidates are placed in Stritch partner schools for Field Experiences. Partner school experiences allow Stritch faculty to
observe and provide feedback to candidates in their pre-student teaching experiences.
Placements are based on availability of cooperating teachers who meet DPI criteria and have been recommended by their
principal or district administrator as models of best practice.
Teacher candidates plan to complete Field Experience hours with visits to the placement 1-2 times per week for 3-4 hours
each visit. The regular schedule allows for consistency for pupils and facilitates supervisor observation of growth and progress.
Candidates will be unable to complete all field experience hours during an extended break (such as a district’s spring break).
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction defines Student Teaching as “full days for a full semester.”
Student teaching candidates may apply for an out-of-area student teaching placement providing other field experience
placement requirements have been met. Candidate input on out-of-area student teaching placement will be considered but
suggested areas cannot be guaranteed. Extra charges may be required for out-of-area supervision.
Placements are based on availability of cooperating teachers who meet DPI criteria and have been recommended by their
principal or district administrator as models of best practice. It is important to note that cooperating teachers may choose
whether they prefer one quarter or one semester placements. It is important for candidates to keep in mind the numerous
reasons a school or district can or cannot accept student placements and that school and district availability varies from
semester to semester.
It is important for the candidate to understand that a range of experiences (districts and grade levels) is seen as a positive to
potential employers – they will neither expect you to have student taught in the district nor in the grade level of the potential
position. Districts, schools and their personnel change constantly – if you demonstrate that you can teach in different settings
and in 5th grade one year and 2nd the next, this is a plus!
It is strictly prohibited for students to contact schools regarding placements in any way. Schools and districts depend on the
University to complete the details of the placement process with the teacher candidate, to contact the appropriate personnel,
and to follow district and/or school protocol.
**These policies have been developed to adhere to state and national accreditation standards and ensure your preparedness as professional educator. Exceptions
may apply at the discretion of Office of Field Experience in concert with program faculty.
