Amid shortage of teachers, Illinois high schoolers can fast-track to a career in education – Chicago Tribune*

When the Illinois State Board of Education launched the grant program in 2020, one of the main goals was to help school districts better meet the needs of their local teacher pipeline, said spokeswoman Jackie Matthews. ISBE reported Illinois had 2,139 unfilled teaching positions in October 2021, with most of the unfilled positions concentrated in underresourced communities and in bilingual and special education roles.

In the CPS system all they need is cardboard cutouts. Results will be the same or better.

The homeless would make great teachers for the CPS.

Most CPS high school graduates need not apply … you have to be able to read.

BTW: thank you, CTU, for the failures of CPS. Your militancy is not helping students … not at all.
