Equity in the Iowa City Community School District

Grow Our Own: Support Staff to Teacher Program

Sponsored by GreenState Credit Union

In partnership with the Foundation for the ICCSD and GreenState Credit Union, the Iowa City Community School District is proud to announce the Grow-Our-Own (GOO) program. The Grow Our Own program is designed to expand our cadre of teachers of color by focusing on current District support staff that have a desire to move in to a teaching position. Participants in the program will be provided tuition support through a cost-sharing program and a guaranteed teaching position within the District following their graduation. Students will benefit from experiencing a diverse teaching population that is reflective of the students we serve and of this community.
