Ohio lawmakers are on their way to approving a new source of teachers for troubled Ohio schools, but not without opposition.
The Ohio House approved a bill Tuesday to allow Teach for America participants to be certified in Ohio. If it passes in the Senate, it already has the support of Gov. John Kasich.
Teach for America is a national organization of recent college graduates willing to teach in low income and under-performing schools. The graduates must have a college degree, though not necessarily in education, and undergo a screening process. They also attend an intensive five-week training course and must commit to their school for at least two years.
