About WTCP
The Wayne RESA Teacher Certification Pathway Program is an opportunity for aspiring educators in identified schools to receive coaching, mentoring, test prep and professional practice to encourage and support successfully passing the MTTC (Michigan Test for Teacher Certification).
Why WTCP Was Created
Wayne RESA’s Teacher Certification Pathway Program (WTCP) began as a pilot in the summer of 2023 after a growing need was identified to increase the number of certified teachers in our Wayne County Identified Classrooms.
Who We Serve
- Educators working in the following state-identified schools:
- Educators who are ready to commit to completing the WTCP Application, Letter of Commitment, and program requirements, including staying at their current school for at least two years post certification.
- Individuals who have finished a teacher preparation program but have not yet passed (or never taken) the MTTC/Subject Test for certification.
- Individuals enrolled in, or who have completed, an MDE-approved alternate route program but have not yet passed (or never taken) the MTTC/Subject Test for certification.
