"Grow Your Own" (GYO) programs were created to encourage members of local communities to become teachers: aiming to address shortages and increase diversity within the profession. Researchers offer new ways to measure the effectiveness of such programs: bit.ly/3IcXMwz.

My paper with @matthewakraft.com describing the variety of Grow Your Own teacher programs nationally is out in print in @erjournal-aera.bsky.social! EdResearcher: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/... Open Access: edworkingpapers.com/sites/defaul...
“Grow Your Own” (GYO) programs have emerged as a new approach to expanding teacher supply, addressing localized shortages, and diversifying the profession. However, little is known about the scale and design of GYO programs, which recruit and support individuals from the local community to become teachers. We conduct a quantitative content analysis of 94 GYO initiatives and find that “GYO” is an umbrella term used to describe teacher pipeline programs with very different purposes, participants, and program features. Although nearly all GYO initiatives aim to increase local supply, far fewer offer programming aligned with reducing shortages in hard-to-staff subjects and schools, increasing diversity, and improving effectiveness. We propose a new classification scheme to facilitate more precise discussions of GYO programs.

Hi Blue Sky! This is my 1st post :) I talked to Kavitha Cardoza about the need for research on & variation in Grow Your Own teacher programs. "We're seeing GYO programs as a silver bullet but we don't know if they induce people to become teachers" www.npr.org/2023/10/26/1...
