Addressing the Need for Teachers
The “Wildcat Teacher” program, led by faculty in the UK College of Education, is designed to help address a challenge felt both across the state and nationally – the need for more teachers.
Wildcat Teacher will create new pathways to teacher certification by transforming and building upon existing educator preparation models at UK. These new pathways will accelerate students’ ability to begin working full-time in districts – helping fill schools’ open positions. Plus, they will provide teacher candidates the chance to earn income and benefits faster than the traditional timeline to complete a teacher preparation program.
