Missouri students need great teachers. Your role as a builder of the next generation of educators is so important. Together we can help build the future of Missouri teachers.
Join us for quarterly meetings if you are a designer/facilitator of a GYO club/chapter or class who wants to connect with other leaders who work with the next generation of educators, hear relevant guest speakers, learn about resources and opportunities that support your program and share the fantastic happenings of your group of future teachers.

The state MTDS GYO Coordinator, Sandy Humbyrd, a former Ed Pathways Dual Credit Class Teacher and Ed Club Sponsor, who completed doctoral work on Missouri’s GYO programs, will be facilitating network gatherings.
