Austin Peay State University’s Eriksson College of Education has prepared world-class teachers for almost a century, and now the University is taking a 21st-century approach to that effort with the Grow Your Own program. What started as a way to combat the country’s teacher shortage has grown into a nationally recognized apprenticeship program, with 80 graduates crossing the commencement stage since the project’s inception in 2018. Learn more about the program from this interview with Dr. Prentice Chandler, dean of the College of Education.
