KC-TEACH is a collaboration involving the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) College of Arts and Sciences, Schools of Education and Biological Sciences, and the Kansas City, Missouri School District (KCMSD), seeking to increase the number of high school science teachers in the KCMSD. Scholarships are available for undergraduate students who have 2-3 years to complete both their undergraduate degree in biology, chemistry, geology, or physics and science certification requirements, which obligates the recipients to 4-6 years of teacher service in a high-need district. Stipends are also available for STEM professionals enrolled in the UMKC science bachelor's recipient /second-career program, enabling participants to complete high school science certification in one year and then obligating them to 2 years of teacher service in a high-need district. The project is preparing 28 new science teachers in biology, chemistry, earth science or physics over five years by equipping candidates to provide high-quality science instruction and placing them in a high-need urban high school. The project provides early field experiences for freshmen and sophomores in high school science classrooms of master teachers. KC-TEACH program completers are supported in their first three years of teaching through careful first-year placement and mentor selection and new teacher orientation, classroom management support, and socialization into the teaching profession. Research associated with the project is investigating the effectiveness of inquiry instruction at improving content knowledge, reasoning, and attitudes of science students and preparing teacher candidates who are well equipped to provide high-quality science instruction in high-need areas. A major contribution of this research is the identification of factors and characteristics that can be used to predict retention of science teachers in high need areas beyond contractual obligations.

KC-Teach是一项涉及密苏里大学艺术与科学学院，教育与生物科学学院以及密苏里州学区（KCMSD）的合作，试图增加KCMSD中的高中科学教师的数量。 有2 - 3年的本科生可获得奖学金，他们可以完成其生物学，化学，地质学或物理和科学认证要求的本科学位，这使接受者在高需求的地区迫使接受者获得4 - 6年的教师服务。 还适用于参加UMKC Science学士学位 /第二职业课程的STEM专业人员，使参与者能够在一年内完成高中科学认证，然后将他们义务在高需求的地区进行2年的教师服务。 该项目正在为五年来为生物学，化学，地球科学或物理学领域的28位新科学教师提供准备，以提供候选人提供高质量的科学教学并将其置于高需求的城市高中。 该项目为高中科学教师的新生和大二学生提供了早期的现场体验。 通过仔细的一年级安排和导师选择以及新的教师培训，课堂管理支持以及社交教学专业的教学，KC教学完成者在教学的头三年中得到了支持。 与该项目相关的研究是调查探究指导在改善科学专业学生的内容，推理和态度以及为在高需求领域提供高质量科学指导方面的教师候选人准备的有效性。这项研究的主要贡献是识别因素和特征，这些因素和特征可用于预测合同义务以外的高需求领域的保留。
