Project CYCLE putting new teachers in special education classrooms

David Manley had a degree, and a job, in human resources, but two years ago, at age 33, he was ready for something different.

“I’d always wanted to become a teacher, and during that time, I just felt it was time for a change,” the University of Findlay graduate said.

That change came in the form of Project CYCLE (Changing Your Career Line to Education), a program that trained Manley to become a special education teacher—his current job at Scott High School in Toledo.

He was one of 26 working adults, each with a bachelor’s degree in other fields, who have completed the first two-year project. In August, all 26 received master’s degrees in education from BGSU.

Selected from among roughly 300 prospective participants who attended preliminary informational meetings, they came to the University from business, factory and social work, even the ministry and the mortuary, and have emerged as licensed teachers in Wood County and Sandusky schools, as well as in Toledo.
