Western Governors U. Opens a New Online College for Teachers - DAN CARNEVALE, the Chronicle
Western Governors University is opening a new college that will let teachers earn certification online, and that could help ease the shortage of educators in schools across the nation, WGU officials said Monday. The U.S. Secretary of Education, Roderick R. Paige, joined officials of Western Governors for the announcement, which was made at the Education Department. Mr. Paige said the new Teachers College would help school districts across the nation meet a requirement of the No Child Left Behind Act, which mandates that elementary and secondary schools have instructors with teaching credentials in all classrooms by 2006.
