Golden Apple Program Continues To Help Address Teacher Shortage

It’s no secret teachers are needed more than ever. 

 

Golden Apple is an Illinois program developing educators to fix the state’s teaching shortage. 

 

Chief Program Officer Kesa Thurman-Stovall says Golden Apple has worked to train new teachers for over 30 years. 

 

 

Golden Apple has two programs: They have the Scholars Program for high school seniors who want to be teachers after college, and they have the Accelerators Program. This program rapidly places potential teachers in the classroom. 

 

 

Thurman-Stovall says that teaching is very rewarding. 

 

 

Golden Apple will pay for any fees associated with education or preparation. Once you finish with the Accelerators Program, you will work in a classroom of need somewhere in Illinois.

 

 

Go to goldenapple.org/accelerators or goldenapple.org/scholars to find more information.
