The science of attracting teachers

With state and federal help, Georgia and Tennessee leaders and educators have developed programs to attract and retain science teachers. Georgia Tech is developing a program that makes it easier for the school’s students to get a teacher certification. Students cannot be teacher certified at Georgia Tech, but historically the school produces students who eventually become teachers, said Tech’s Ms. Llewellyn. The new program will help students interested in teaching find an easier path to that goal, she said.
