Grow Your Own Illinois’ (GYO-IL) convenes two professional learning communities, one that brings together Deans of Colleges of Education and a second that brings together community college leaders. During monthly meetings, participants discuss challenges faced by teacher candidates from diverse backgrounds, and share successful strategies for recruiting and supporting students through their licensure pathways and programs. The learning community focuses on practical solutions to increase diversity in teaching and ensure new teachers are well-prepared to serve in their local communities.
