The Milwaukee Idea
At UWM, The Milwaukee Idea is a way of doing business - a collaborative approach that brings together people from the community and the university to address challenges in education, the environment, public health and economic development.

One of these exciting Milwaukee Idea collaborative efforts is Partnerships for Education,
a community-wide effort to revitalize our urban schools. Supported by over $26 million in federal grants, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee Public Schools, Milwaukee Area Technical College, and educational institutions throughout southeastern Wisconsin are joining forces to:

• Prepare more students for college, particularly those from culturally and linguistically diverse families.
  
• Create and expand a strong, diverse and energetic teacher workforce.
  
• Integrate technology into teacher education programs.
