In partnership with Grand Valley State University, West Michigan Teacher Collaborative prepares candidates with the knowledge, skills and mindsets necessary to become effective teachers. All tuition, fees and supplies are covered for participants, and many will be eligible for stipends of up to $20,000.
West Michigan Teacher Collaborative offers three programs providing options for:
- people without a Bachelor’s degree who would like to earn one and become a teacher
- people with a Bachelor’s degree who are looking to switch to a teaching career
- current educators seeking additional credentials through advanced degrees
Designed for working adults, WMTC removes common barriers to becoming a teacher and provides support to participants throughout the program in an effort to ensure that every child has excellent teachers.
West Michigan Teacher Collaborative is made possible through a partnership with Grand Valley State University and in part through funding from a Grow Your Own Program Grant from the Michigan Department of Education.
