The first students in the program graduatedlast year.

According to ISBE, thegrants could increase the diversity of the state teacher workforce. Ofthoseenrolledin the Pathway program,45% identify as Black or Hispanic, compared to 14% of thecurrentteachers.

ISBEsaid the Pathway program, coupled with other initiatives,has increased studentenrollment in collegiateeducation programsby 41% over the past four years.

ISBEsaid Illinoisschools reported 2,139 unfilled teachingpositionsin 2021. Manyof those unfilledpositions arein under-resourcedcommunities.

Ayala said the program provides the encouragement that some students need.

“I found my way into teaching after someone encouragedme and gave me a chance to experience the magic ofeducationfirsthand,” Ayala said. “Sometimes that’s all it takes to pique a student’s interest in this incredibly rewarding profession, and that’swhat theEducation CareerPathwayoffers.”

To date, ISBE has released$18 millionin EducationPathwaygrants. There are 171 high schools offering the program. The next round of grants will goout this calendaryear.
