Become a licensed teacher in Turner USD 202
Turner USD 202 has established a partnership with the Educator Academy to provide qualified individuals with the opportunity to get licensed and developed into a teacher at a Turner USD 202.
Educator Academy’s Residency pathway provides a one-year certification and licensure pathway, a Master’s Degree through the University of Missouri, Kansas City, along with a stipend, benefits and other financial aid supports.
Through the teacher residency, residents complete coursework that is applied to both certification and master’s degree credits while training under a mentor teacher. This model allows teacher residents to learn theory and apply strategies in real-time.
Residents gradually transition from observing and supporting the mentor teacher, to lead-teaching full days of instruction by the end of the school year. After the residency year is complete, graduates commit to being a teacher of record in Kansas City for at least 3 years. Throughout the entire process, The EA provides instructional coaching to our teachers to ensure they are growing to become highly effective in their classrooms.
