Group picked to aid Mich. rural, urban teaching
Reporter: Associated Press
Seventy-four people have been selected to participate in a program to develop math, science, engineering and technology teachers for several Michigan rural and urban school districts.
The state announced Wednesday the second class of fellows will
receive $30,000 to pursue master's degrees at University of Michigan and Michigan State, Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan, Grand Valley State and Wayne State universities.
The program recruits recent college graduates and those seeking
a different career. This year's fellows include a fighter pilot, police chaplain, biologist and kayak instructor.
About two thousand people applied.
They will teach in Battle Creek, Benton Harbor, Detroit, Grand
Rapids, Muskegon, Wyoming and Ypsilanti.
The Battle Creek-based W.K. Kellogg Foundation launched the
program in 2009. It's administered by the Woodrow Wilson National
Fellowship Foundation.
