WEATHERFORD — The Weatherford College Teacher Certification program (TCP) is taking applications for the summer 2010 class. Weatherford College students in the fall, spring and summer 2009-10 Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities (PPR) classes are eligible for a 20 percent tuition reduction, since the Legislature provided a grant to many community college alternative certification programs.
Individuals with at least a bachelor’s degree who wish to teach junior high or high school should call the TCP office at (817) 598-6446 to schedule an appointment for a transcript review. Interested persons should apply as soon as possible, since one requirement of the application process is a minimum of 30 hours “pre-service field experience” that must be completed by April 15.
The summer 2010 PPR classes are June 7 through July 2, Mondays and Wednesdays, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., as well as an online class. July classes for all students in the TCP program are from July 12-23, Mondays and Fridays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Once an individual is accepted into a teacher certification program and has passed his/her content exam, he/she may apply for teaching positions at local school districts for the 2010-11 school year.
Applications may be downloaded from www.wc.edu/programs/teachcert.
Contact Director Sharron Lawrence at (817) 598-6446 for additional information and to schedule appointments for transcript reviews and interviews.

Texas, underground
The Natural Bridge Caverns take “deep in the heart of Texas Hill Country” to a whole new meaning. With depths reaching 260 feet underground, it is Texas’ largest-known cavern and consistently ranks as one of the state’s top tourist destinations. Discovered in 1960 by students at St. Mary’s University, the cavern, located just west of New Braunfels, has delighted visitors for decades with lantern-led tours, archaeological gems, and natural formations like “soda straw” stalactites occurring along hidden passages.
