KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Are you looking for professional development? Would you or someone you know make a great teacher? The Educator Academy simplifies this process, strengthening the teacher pipeline in the Kansas City metro.
The Educator Academy initiatives are designed to recruit, train and retain the next generation of teachers.

"We believe through our program we can help individuals become certified and help kids have a high-quality education."
Educator Ryan Klassan went through the program. "I was always interested in teaching. I found myself teaching many different ways in my life. When I finally started substitute teaching, with some encouragement from some friends, it clicked," shared Klassan. "I knew I needed to find a way back. The Educator Academy offered support and the mission connected with me personally."
