Abstract:

Miscellaneous records of the Dept. of Elementary Education and its predecessors mostly dating from the 1950s to the early 1960s. The collection largely consists of committee materials and subject files. These records appear to have been compiled from a variety of sources.

The department meeting minutes (1948-1965) document course and program developments; staffing, budgetary, and space needs; and department activities. The memos and announcements (1951-1963) also contain similar information relating to the curriculum, staff needs, and other department functions. The files also contain information about the "integrated program," which combined the study of theory and practice. Other records in the collection include student teaching materials (1945-1965) consisting of teaching guides, memos, announcements, and discussion summaries about the student teaching program.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee was created in 1956 following the merger of the University of Wisconsin's Milwaukee Center and the Wisconsin State College, Milwaukee. Prior to the merger, Neil Billings was appointed director of the Division of Elementary Education for the Milwaukee State Teachers College in 1949; he served as director of the department until 1960. In September 1960, Gerald Gleason assumed the position of chair.

The files are organized alphabetically by subject, then chronologically.
