State Department of Ed approves alternative teacher certification program

LANSING, Mich. – People with college credits could become teachers more quickly through a new certification program.

The Michigan Department of Education says the new paradigm program will offer a residency–based alternative to certification.

The program aims to recruit, train, and retain high quality educators, particularly teachers of color and male teachers.

People in the program will begin working in schools for the 2021–2022 school year, providing instruction to small groups of students.
