Wayne State and a partnership between the University of Michigan-Dearborn and Oakland Community College are developing accelerated teaching-certificate programs to help displaced engineers to fill math and science teacher shortages. Both plan to launch programs this fall. "We want to be sure we think creatively so people don't have to leave the community; they can stay here and fill needs, said WSU Provost Nancy Barrett. "We have a shortage of these teachers, and with the revisions in the high school curriculum, there will be even more of them." WSU's College of Education is developing a curriculum for the program and taking it to education fairs at area automotive plants. The university also is in discussions with the UAW, so the union can inform its members about the program.
