Grow Your Own: Teacher Prep Program
Advancing K-12 Education
Overview
The TN GYO Program exists to end teacher shortages in Tennessee by strengthening the educator pipeline. Nationally, GYO programs have become a leading strategy for addressing educator shortages. The distinctives of the TN GYO Program are that it:
- Provides teacher licensure with no out-of-pocket academic costs for learners and no debt.
- Leverages registered apprenticeship as a new model for preparation.
- Expands local partnerships to build locally contextualized solutions.
- Increases the demographic representation of the educator workforce.
