Teacher candidates who enter an alternative program already have an undergraduate degree in the subject area that they will be teaching and a few years of experience in that field. This high level of content knowledge then gets matched with intensive in-classroom training and mentoring that helps the candidates master the pedagogical side of teaching. The result is impressive. These program graduates are firmly grounded in their craft and it shows. Below are five programs that are doing it right and seeing impressive results.
