DETROIT — Gov. Jennifer Granholm announced that “millions of dollars going to hundreds of fellowships” would soon bolster the ranks of Michigan’s public school math and science teachers courtesy of a $16.7 million grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
In this week’s radio address, Governor Granholm announces that Michigan has been chosen for a new teaching fellowship program that will benefit almost 20,000 Michigan public school students in high-need schools. Hello, this is Governor Jennifer Granholm. ...

Twenty-first century jobs require 21st century minds. If Michigan is to compete in the global economy, all our children have to have world-class education and skills. That’s why the news of Michigan being chosen for a new teaching fellowship program is so exciting. This program is going to train 240 new math and scie...nce teachers to teach in middle and high schools that desperately need teachers in these subjects – math and science. Over a period of five years, almost 20,000 Michigan public school students will receive high-quality education in science, technology, engineering and math from these new teachers. This statewide teaching fellowship program is made possible by a $16.7 million grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. The result is the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Woodrow Wilson Michigan Teaching Fellowship. Michigan is now one of only three states – the others being Indiana and Ohio – who have been chosen for this teaching fellowship.Read More

To stand up for our schools, lawmakers of both parties will need to stand up to special interests, like the tobacco lobby and the petroleum lobby. Legislators will need to decide what's more important. Is maintaining a double tax exemption for oil and gas producers more important than funding our schools? Is protecting... tobacco companies more important than protecting our children's education?Across our state, there are tens of thousands of parents, educators and other concerned citizens who correctly see this school finance crisis as a threat to our children. It also is a threat to the kind of state we want to build in Michigan -- a state with a diverse economy, 21st-century jobs and the good education that will bring those jobs to Michigan.Every economist agrees: Education is fundamental to Michigan's economic rebirth, especially now. We cannot gut the funding to this crucial foundation for Michigan's future.Read More

Last week when I signed the state budget into law, I made it clear that it is not the budget Michigan needs. It is a budget that cuts our most pressing priorities: educating our children and helping them pay for a college education; maintaining health care for seniors, children and people with disab...

Jennifer Granholm Preparing our workforce for the 21st century economy is crucial for Michigan’s economic turnaround.

Granholm said she wants to level the playing field against these ...
