Crash the Class
This is a fantastic opportunity to recognize great K-State teachers across the state! Please join us once a month for a new episode.
The College of Education at Kansas State University is dedicated to the success of our students and alumni. In 2015, we launched the EDCATS initiative to rally future teachers together and foster continuing relationships with faculty mentors well after graduation. In 2018 we created the “Crash the Class” video series as a way to recognize early career teachers. In 2019 we started producing a new video each month and opening the series to nominations.
A special thank you to our generous sponsors, Credit Union of America and Project Teacher, for their incredible support of our "Crash the Class" initiative. Through their donations and partnership, we're able to celebrate outstanding educators, create engaging classroom videos, and highlight the meaningful impact teachers make every day. We are grateful for their commitment to supporting education and helping us recognize excellence across Kansas classrooms.
