The W.K. Kellogg Foundation, a Widmeyer client, secured an interview for Sterling Speirn as part of the Washington Post’s exclusive coverage of President Barack Obama’s latest announcement around improving science and mathematics instruction.  President Obama recognized the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s Woodrow Wilson Michigan Teaching Fellowship as one of the new partners of the “Educate to Innovate” campaign.

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation-funded Fellowship program provides promising future teachers in the State of Michigan with an exemplary, intensive master’s degree program in education and places those Fellows in hard-to-staff middle and high schools for a minimum of three years.  Through this program, approximately 90,000 students will receive high-quality instruction in the critical subject areas of STEM from Fellows during their first three years in the classroom.
