Indiana needs more teachers.
And, in a state where more than 90% of teachers are white, it particularly needs more teachers of color. So, a new dual-enrollment agreement from Marian University and Ivy Tech Community College is looking to make the pathway into the profession more attractive and accessible with a low-to-no-cost program that starts prepping future teachers while they’re still in high school.
The teaching cadet program will allow students to complete the first year of an associate degree through dual credit courses while they’re still in high school. Upon graduation, they’ll receive dual admission into Ivy Tech and Marian. They’ll spend their first year out of high school at Ivy Tech, completing their associate degree before transitioning to the Klipsch Educators College where they will earn a bachelor’s degree with a teacher certification.

Police reform, community at the heart of new Kalamazoo chief’s vision
Updated Jan 13, 2021;
KALAMAZOO, MI Police reform is not anything new at Kalamazoo Public Safety, Chief Vernon Coakley said, but it’s something he remains focused on three months into the job a job he said he is built for.
“Reform was on my mind a long time ago,” said Coakley, who took over as chief in October, said in an interview with MLive Wednesday, Jan. 13. “I’ve been in this profession for 28 years. I didn’t always do it the right way.
“1993 is when I started in law enforcement and it was about tickets, arrests and incarceration. That’s how we solved problems. As I grew to be a man, where my heart is, where my faith is, things changed for me.”
