Grow-Your-Own Programming in Bilingual Contexts: Engaging Stakeholders to Address Inequality in the Educational Pipeline

Tue, April 21, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

With nearly one in every ten students in current U.S. public schools identifying as an emergent bilingual, there is a critical demand for linguistically and culturally diverse educators. Grow-Your-Own (GYO) programs have been regarded as a promising practice to diversify the teacher workforce and address systemic inequities in education when anchored in strength-based and critical frameworks (Gist, Bianco, & Lynn, 2019). This symposium brings together collaborative partnerships from four regions across the U.S. to share their collective experiences with GYO programs that support Latinx bilingual teachers. Each presentation will describe and problematize aspects of their GYO programs, share research findings, and engage in discussion surrounding recruitment, retention, and outreach efforts, as well as examine students’ experiences and long-term outcomes.
