Learning From Indiana – Innovative Approaches to Solving the National Teacher Shortage

Many districts are facing increasing educator shortages. Indiana is working to enhance efforts to “attract, prepare, and retain” educators with a multi-pronged approach. One innovative strategy is funding a Grow Your Own pilot in rural Whitley County Consolidated Schools. This presentation will discuss the research around GYO programs as a recruitment and retention strategy, and share information and resources about this GYO program and IDOE’s other efforts to “attract, prepare and retain” teachers, as well as engage participants in sharing ideas on how they are tackling teacher shortages with their own efforts to “attract, prepare, and retain” teachers in their schools and districts.

This talk was presented at:
2023 National ESEA Conference
February 2023 in Indianapolis, IN
