Kauffman addressing teacher shortage in urban schools

The Kansas City Teacher Residency (KCTR) program, supported by the Kauffman Foundation, is actively recruiting and supporting individuals to become teachers in urban schools and directly address a shortage of teachers.

Urban teacher residency programs adapt the medical residency model to teacher preparation. This is a one-year program for college graduates and professionals who want to become exceptional teachers and help Kansas City kids achieve strong academic outcomes.
