HB2470 amends the Grow Your Own Teacher Education Act to enhance teacher training programs in Illinois.
HB2470 amends the Grow Your Own Teacher Education Act by implementing a program of forgivable loans for teacher candidates, covering tuition, books, and fees. These loans are forgiven if the graduate completes five years of service in a site-based cohort coordinator. The bill also allows the Board of Higher Education to create a complaint process for cohorts to communicate operational or funding challenges. Additionally, it mandates that grants be distributed to consortia in an equitable manner based on candidate needs, ensuring required support for cohorts.
