Support for good teachers key to federal funds bid, Doyle says - JSOnline:
"Wisconsin's application for a slice of federal stimulus dollars for education reform must include provisions for getting quality teachers into more classrooms and supporting them so they stay there, Gov. Jim Doyle said this week at Alverno College.
While praising two of Alverno's alternative-track education programs that allow mid-career professionals or other people with degrees in other subjects the opportunity to become teachers, Doyle also outlined the state's progress on its federal Race to the Top application, which is due in mid-January.
'Programs like Alverno will be a major part of our application,' Doyle said Tuesday."
