Glee's Chord Overstreet Is Going Back to School on The Middle

Chord Overstreet may not be returning to Glee's McKinley High next season, but he won't be skipping class altogether. The actor-musician will guest-star as a newbie Orson Elementary school teacher to young Brick Heck (Atticus Shaffer) on the Wednesday, Sept. 28 episode of ABC's The Middle, TVGuide.com has confirmed. Ralph Wilkerson (Overstreet) is enthusiastic, energetic but perhaps a little too forward-thinking for the elder Hecks' tastes.
