This Grow Your Own (GYO) toolkit from New America is a comprehensive resource designed to facilitate the development, implementation, and sustainability of GYO programs, which recruit and prepare community-based teachers. GYO programs are recognized as a promising strategy to alleviate teacher shortages and enhance the racial and linguistic diversity of the teacher workforce. This toolkit offers a collection of research, policy, and practice resources. Divided into five sections, it covers GYO fundamentals, program design and funding, candidate strategies, advocacy tools, and data and evaluation frameworks. Teacher preparation programs can benefit from this toolkit by gaining insights into effective GYO program development, supporting community members in entering the teaching profession, and addressing local educational needs through targeted partnerships.
