has unveiled a new, no-cost pathway for aspiring educators to obtain their Texas teaching license with a $1 million grant available to Texas public institutions of higher education.
Through the grant program, Grow Your Own, participants who currently hold an associate degree will be able to earn their bachelor's degree and Texas teaching license while being paid as full-time teaching assistants in Houston ISD. The initiative is supported by a strong partnership with the National Center for Grown Your Own and the Houston Endowment.
Amid a growing national teacher shortage, HISD has been focused on engaging sustainable recruitment and retention solutions that would eliminate barriers to encourage prospective teachers into the profession, according to a release.
