“Colby Community College provided me with the solid foundation I needed to be successful in college. Specifically, my education classes with Carolyn May and my child development classes with Krista Carter solidified my passion to teach ‘when I grew up.’ It was because of caring teachers like them that I realized education was the right fit for me.”
--Maret Schrader, 2017 Kansas Teacher of the Year finalist
It is predicted the United States will need to fill nearly 1 million teaching positions
as current teachers reach retirement age. High demand areas include those requiring
special training in math and science, English as a Second Language, assisting those
with special needs, and working within schools serving a significant percentage of
students from low-income situations.
