Great teachers know growth doesn’t happen overnight. It happens one small win at a time. In 60 Seconds with KCPS, we ask a few fun questions to spotlight the incredible people behind Kansas City Public Schools.

Today’s spotlight: Chad Eaddy, PE Teacher from J. A. Rogers Elementary who also happens to be their 2026 Teacher of the Year.

When asked, “What makes a good day?” Chad shared that it’s setting goals with students and watching their improvement over time.

He says teaching is a marathon, not a race. Some days are great, some are tough, but what matters most is the growth students make by the end of the year. 🏅 And in PE, those victories show up everywhere: more confidence, more teamwork, and kids realizing they can do hard things.

Stay tuned for more 60 Seconds with KCPS as we continue highlighting the people who make our schools unforgettable.
