Aspiring educators courted

A feature story discusses Wayne State 's launching of a one-year teaching certificate pilot program for Ontario university graduates who hold a four-year degree, and a two-year program for students with a three-year degree. Students who complete the program, offered through the College of Education , (and a certification test) will be eligible to teach in Michigan and to apply for an "interim" teaching certificate in Ontario . \"It\'s about supply and demand,\" said Gerry Oglan, assistant dean in the college's teacher certification division. \"The University of Windsor can only take in so many teachers. In Ontario and Michigan there is a demand for teachers.\" A sidebar notes that Wayne State will hold informational meetings Jan. 19, Feb. 16 and March 23 at 7 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Select in Windsor .
