With Grow-Your-Own Programs, New Teachers Find Job-Embedded Support
Trompeter, Kristin; Garcia-Fields, Stephanie
Learning Professional, v43 n4 p48-51 Aug 2022
Like many districts across the U.S., Miami-Dade County Public Schools is experiencing a large number of open staff positions due to higher-than-normal numbers of retirements and resignations in the face of COVID-19 coupled with enrollment declines in local universities' education departments. The district, in partnership with New Teacher Center, has been working to address this gap through grow-your-own teacher recruitment pathways. Grow-your-own programs are pathways into the teaching profession for individuals who do not have a background in education but aspire to teach and who live or work in the neighborhoods in which a school is located. The grow-your-own approach to recruiting, preparing, and supporting new teachers has many benefits for students: It can improve the demographic match between students and teachers; it can involve increased alignment and coordination between educator preparation programs and school districts; and ideally reduces teacher turnover in hard-to-staff schools by recruiting and supporting teachers who are committed, invested, and well-supported.
