At Take Note, we like to say, “This is Our City, Our Schools, Our Future,” but the word “our” is used differently by different people. We asked Charles King, executive director of the Kansas City Teacher Residency Program what “our” means to him and why it’s important.

Follow “Take Note: Our City. Our Schools. Our Future” as together, we tell the stories that matter, the stories that make an impact. We want to know — what stories do you have for us, and what can we find out for you? Email us at contact@takenotekc.org and follow the entire project at takenotekc.org.
