THE EDUCATOR ACADEMY RECRUITS, PREPARES, PLACES, AND RETAINS PASSIONATE INDIVIDUALS TO JOIN THE TEACHING PROFESSION. WE STRIVE TO DEVELOP THESE TEACHERS INTO EFFECTIVE, COMPASSIONATE, AND ANTIRACIST EDUCATORS WHO WORK TO ENSURE KIDS RECEIVE A QUALITY EDUCATION. WE DO THIS THROUGH A TEACHER RESIDENCY MODEL, WHICH ALLOWS RESIDENTS TO HONE THEIR TEACHING SKILLS BY SERVING AS AMERICORPS MEMBERS IN MENTOR TEACHERS' CLASSROOMS FOR A FULL SCHOOL YEAR. RESIDENTS EARN THEIR TEACHING CERTIFICATION, RECEIVE INSTRUCTIONAL COACHING, ENGAGE IN COURSEWORK, AND PARTICIPATE IN AND BENEFIT FROM THEIR AMERICORPS MEMBERSHIP. THIS RIGOROUS DEVELOPMENT MODEL HELPS OUR RESIDENT TEACHERS BECOME THE EDUCATORS THE STUDENTS OF KANSAS CITY DESERVE.
