Become a Teacher in Kansas

  At $39,175, teacher salaries in Kansas are far below the national average in 2005 of $47,808. School Districts across Kansas are facing devastating financial cuts due to the lack of state funding. Disregard for the value of education has been spreading like an epidemic throughout Kansas over the last decade. Consequences are beginning to materialize more vividly now as resources are vanishing, foreign language subjects are no longer being taught in many schools, school staffing positions are being reduced and much more. Right now, more than ever, Kansas needs new, highly qualified teachers to infiltrate it's educational system. Kansas needs teachers and administrators to have an understanding of current issues, the reasons for these issues and the underlying concepts for proposed solutions. Education is the future of Kansas. The effects of a neglected public education system will be evident as we move further along into the 21st century.

  Future Kansas Teachers: It is easy to speak of shortcomings in public education, but it is also important to acknowledge the up-side of any situation. There are large campaigns being coordinated in order to educate tax payers to understand the effects of a shoddy public education in their communities, such as lowering real estate prices and a poorer quality future work force. A very important fact that should be observed by any person contemplating becoming a teacher, or entering into any position within Kansas' public education system, is that what is making progress in Kansas schools and the perception tax payers have of education is proper information and educating the public. It is becoming evident that we can not support a quality education in our schools if the rest of society around us is left in the dark with regard to what education does for our communities. Therefore, it is the duty of future Kansas teachers to properly prepare themselves and become equipped with the knowledge they will need to lead our communities into a more educated tomorrow. Learn about modern teaching theories, data-driven decision making, resource management, ethical leadership and much more through a top, accredited university. Earn your Master's degree or PhD and earn yourself a more comfortable living, gain respect from peers and be a catalyst for positive change.

  Current Kansas Teachers and Administrators: Experienced teachers and administrators are the backbone of our current educational system in Kansas. You are the ones students and new teachers look up to for direction and support. There is a huge weight on your shoulders to carry us all into a more enlightened future. This may sound like alot of work and a huge responsibility but this is what you signed up for when first entering the field of education. And underneath a deep-seeded irritation for the apathy of the public, you know this type of purpose helps you sleep at night. So acknowledge your desire to make the world a better place and learn how you can be the best educator you can be. Understand that a true educator is only as good as his own education allows him to be. Learn about programs from top, accredited universities. Earn your Master's degree, PhD or Administrative Credentials and help Kansas students, teachers and administrators make better decisions for their own future.

"I decided to go to graduate school and earn my Master of Arts in Education because I am inspired by new knowledge. I feel in order to perform my job to the best of my ability, I need to keep up with current practices and trends in the field of education." - Sara Marvez -- 6th grade science teacher

"Gaining my Masters degree has earned me respect from Administrators and colleagues. Also, my salary has benefitted greatly. The cost of graduate school was paid off in only a couple years." - Thomas Bjornson -- high school english teacher

"Postgraduate study was a personal goal of mine and completing my Masters degree has given me a great sense of personal satisfaction, it has also increased my efficiency in the classroom and my marketability in the job market."- Janet O'Reilly -- 8th grade social studies teacher

"I found my online courses efficient and friendly. I had a desire to go to graduate school, but I didn't want to go through the nonsense of another undergraduate degree, bumping shoulders with students a third my age who have very little understanding of real life or the benefits of real knowledge. A friend recommended online education and I haven't looked back since. At the age of 53, I love my job more than ever. I get so much satisfaction knowing that many of my students respect me for what I do as a teacher. I am able to face any sort of situation that arises in my classroom with complete confidence."
- Jonathan Lloyd -- high school chemistry teacher
