MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin schools would be able to hire people who don’t have a bachelor’s degree to teach subjects like math, science, technology and engineering under a proposal approved by the Legislature’s budget-writing committee. The Joint Finance Committee approved the proposal to create a new alternative track for people with real-life experience to get licensed to teach early Wednesday morning. The proposal would require anyone with a bachelor’s degree who wants to teach English, math, science, social studies or other areas to be issued a teaching license if they are determined to be proficient in their subject area and has relevant experience. Gov. Scott Walker had proposed something similar to help plug shortfalls in high-demand areas. Critics say those being licensed should be instructed in effective teaching methods.
