This week on "The State of Ohio": The budget is on its way to a committee that will hammer out the differences before the end of the month deadline.

A new report by the Fordham Institute shows more Ohio college students would consider teaching children after they graduate if the state would alleviate some of its certification requirements for educators.

| Ryan says national teacher recruitment programs such as "Teach for America" focus on finding students who know the subject area then hold an instructional training session to help them learn specific skills for the classroom. Ryan says the state's certification requirements often prevent charter schools from getting qualified teachers. The Fordham Institute often advocates on behalf of charter schools throughout Ohio. |
