Jocelyn Schifferdecker at KAKE-TV reports the Kansas State Department of Education has announced a new initiative to combat the Teacher shortage with the State's first-ever Teacher Apprenticeship Program.  Assistant Secretary of Commerce Mike Beene said this program is crucial right now with the Teacher shortage at an all-time high.  This four-year Apprenticeship is similar to a traditional college experience.  However, students will be working hands on in classrooms and being mentored by Teachers from day one - all while getting paid and earning their college degree.
