Our shared goal is to improve P-20 education for all students in the Kansas City metropolitan area by providing powerful tools for data-driven educational policy research, evaluation, and implementation.
Superintendents ranked this study of the teaching workforce in the Kansas City area as the second most important KC-AERC research focus in 2009. There are few reliable regional or national studies that document the number of newly credentialed teachers, the distribution of teachers by profession, attrition of teachers from the workforce, and areas of short-term and chronic needs in the teacher workforce.
