Hartshorne, Richard; Heafner, Tina; Petty, Teresa – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2011
With teacher shortages in both general and critical needs areas and constricting operating budgets, it is important for Colleges of Education to develop methods of providing alternative certification programs to reach larger segments of the population. One method of increasing the scope of potential preservice teachers is through the development…
