The Texas Education Agency supports Grow Your Own programs throughout the state as part of the TEA Strategic Plan 2017-2021 (PDF 2,215 KB), set forth by Commissioner Mike Morath. The programs aim to elevate the teaching profession in Texas by developing high-quality Education and Training courses at the high school level and by creating teacher pipelines to increase the pool and diversity of Texas’ future classroom leaders.
