If we want to solve Wisconsin’s reading crisis, we have to look at how we train our teachers.

WILL launched our "Wisconsin Education Comeback" series to help bring proven teaching methods back to revitalize our classrooms.

Our first report shows teacher preparation is a root cause of both low reading proficiency & teacher shortages. Also, inconsistent training in the Science of Reading limits both educator effectiveness & workforce supply.👇

🚨 Did you know every gallon of milk you buy currently funds extreme climate policies that drive dairy farmers out of business?

Gov. Evers thinks he can ignore the highest court in the land to push an ideological agenda. Well, the law applies to everyone.

The Wisconsin Dentistry Examining Board recently proposed a rule that could violate dentists’ First Amendment speech rights by letting the American Dental Association have final say over which dentists can speak certain words in their advertisements.

Similar regulations in other states have already been deemed a First Amendment violation. WILL submitted a public comment letting the Board know their proposed rule needs to be dropped or redrafted to comply with the First Amendment.

It’s never too early to get involved in the rulemaking process to stop a bad rule before it ever takes effect. Read more below.

In 2015, Wisconsin paired work requirements with food stamps and over 28,000 people found jobs. It’s time to bring that same success to public housing. 🏠

That’s why WILL just backed a new U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development rule that cuts federal red tape and lets housing agencies create work requirements so able-bodied adults can build skills and move off aid. Public housing assistance should be temporary, not a permanent destination.

This rule will not only reward work but it will open up housing space for the next family in need. Learn more below:
