Program to Ease Teacher Shortage Expands to Charter Schools

http://www.wthitv.com/Global/story.asp?S=7560215

The Indianapolis Teaching Fellows program, an initiative of the Indianapolis district that selects and trains professionals who want to make the transition to the classroom, will expand next year to include charter schools. The program targets math, science, special education and Spanish. It is highly selective. There were 862 applications this year to fill the first 40 slots. The Fellows receive training during the summer and take courses toward teacher certification during their first two years of teaching.
