KANAAE Members Meet With Legislative Leaders In Roundtable Discussions
posted by: Garry | July 02, 2015, 10:30 PM KANAAE was thrilled to host two groundbreaking meetings last week between member teachers and legislative leaders across Kansas. The KANAAE Legislative Leader Roundtables, held on Tuesday in Wichita, and Wednesday in Manhattan, were attended by nearly 60 member educators who participated in collaborative discussions about education policy with high-ranking statewide officials. Leaders from the Kansas State Senate, House of Representatives, and Governor Brownback’s office were in attendance. Continue Reading... There was a time when educators could count on being granted their license and then spending the rest of their career in a single state, district, or even school. More and more often this is no longer the case. As the economy changes, the teaching force continues to evolve. This is amplified by the fact that the distribution of teachers is not even across the country. While many communities, mostly urban, are experiencing shortages of teachers, others have a surplus. Teachers in areas with a surplus may well move to an area with a shortage, gain experience, and then apply in their desired state once they are more established. Continue Reading...

According to the Education Intelligence Agency, the NEA has lost over 9% of its members nationwide. The 2011-12 school year absorbed the sharpest decline, with almost 104,000 fewer members in the ranks from the previous year. However, the losses continued by more than 41,000 members in the just-concluded 2012-13 school year. Continue Reading...
Department of Education Study Sheds Light on New Teacher Workforce
posted by: Colin | September 20, 2011, 03:28 PM
One thing on which everyone in the education community can agree is the fact that effective teachers are the key to the overall success of our school system. In light of this consensus, the Department of Education has spent the past several years studying the behavior of new teachers and their career paths, of which the findings were released last week in an ongoing study. In an effort to understand the typical career journey of a new educator, the study tracks 2,000 teachers as they begin their teaching careers and follows their behavior patterns as they continue in both elementary and secondary settings.
