Jim:

There are a number of programs offering such here on the East Coast; we
have an MSEd (Physics with Alternative Certification) program here at
BSC; Rutgers (Eugenia Etkina) has something similar.  The
assistantships are the most competitive part, though special student
loans (E.g. Noyce) are available for these candidates, who are sought
by specialty programs as career changers to science teaching.  see
