Abstract: Local teacher recruitment through "grow-your-own" (GYO) programs is a prominent strategy to address workforce shortages and ensure that incoming teachers resemble, understand, and have strong connections to their communities. Despite the growing popularity of GYO programs, there is little credible evidence of their effectiveness. The authors contribute to this gap in the literature by examining the impacts of the Teacher Academy of Maryland (TAM), a GYO program that provides high schoolers with early exposure to teaching through a course-based Career and Technical Education (CTE) sequence. Upon completing four TAM courses and passing a licensure exam, students earn their industry-recognized certificate which makes them immediately eligible to work as an instructional assistant in a public school. Students also can transfer TAM credits to two- or four-year colleges. The authors examine the effects of TAM on high school graduation, college enrollment, receipt of a BA degree, employment as a teacher, and wages.
