GROW YOUR OWN ILLINOIS is a collaboration among six organizations that have come together to promote the successful implementation of the Illinois Grow Your Own Teachers Act, PL 93-802. Our work is supported primarily through a contract with the Illinois State Board of Education, with additional support from the Ford and Hazen Foundations.
Use the menu on the left to access core information about the members of the collaborative and the basic concepts that drive our work.
The Personnel page contains email
links to all core staff of the collaborative. The Grow Your Own Teachers Forum allows you to share ideas and concerns with the larger community currently working on the initiative.
