Teacher shortages are taking a toll on students throughout Kentucky, as critical shortage areas have been identified in a number of subjects and disciplines in all areas of the state. That shortage will be addressed through Go Teach KY, which will focus on three avenues of teacher recruitment: 1. The teaching and learning career pathway available to high school students, in conjunction with Educators Rising, a student organization for middle school and high school students interested in education-related careers; 2. Active recruitment of college students and prospective college students into teacher education programs; and 3. The eight options for alternative routes to teacher certification created by the Kentucky General Assembly for people who have demonstrated exceptional work and/or educational experiences.
