More math teachers, please
The West Virginia Department of Education, American Institute for Research, West Virginia University and Pocahontas County Schools are teaming up for a new project to create a more robust talent pipeline of secondary math teachers.
The WVU Center for Excellence in STEM Education director, Gay Stewart, reaffirms the importance of this project: "With nearly one in every 18 West Virginia classrooms led by an individual who is not a certified teacher, according to the West Virginia Board of Education, it is critical we recruit, secure and retain secondary teachers who can take on leadership roles statewide. The need to increase the number of highly qualified math and science teachers is a statewide concern in West Virginia and a University-wide mission at WVU."
