The Educator Academy Programs
The Educator Academy exists to recruit, cultivate, support, and retain a network of empowered and effective educators. We prepare teachers to create transformative and accessible classroom experiences for all students in the communities we serve.

Teacher Fellows Program
The fellowship focuses on individuals with significant experience in the classroom–moving them into a lead teacher role within a school while earning their certification in 1 year. Following teacher certification, The EA continues to provide support and coaching to ensure fellow graduates are set up for success in their career. Joining the fellowship program requires instructional experience, either as a lead teacher or support role focused on academics.

Teacher Residency Program
The Educator Academy’s teacher residency is a one-year residency followed by a three-year teaching commitment. Teacher residents serve within a mentor teacher’s classroom at schools across the KC metro five days a week, while also attending certification and master’s level coursework. At the end of their 1st year, residents earn their certification and are then able to teach as a teacher of record. As resident graduates, participants commit to completing 3-years in a partner school of The Educator Academy while also continuing to receive coaching and professional development. Throughout their teaching commitment, The Educator Academy provides differentiated supports for resident graduates to ensure their continued development as highly effective educators in the classroom.
