The Kansas Education Employment Board offers a statewide retention effort supported by the KSDE Special Education Services Team. KEEB provides support for early career special education teachers through collaboration with the New Teacher Center.

KEEB is partnering with the New Teacher Center to offer eMentoring for Student Success (eMSS) and Explorations to teachers who are in their first through third years of teaching special education. Regular education teachers who are in their first through third years of teaching are eligible to enroll in special education Explorations. eMSS and Explorations are offered at no cost to teachers/districts. Stipends for professional development are also offered to mentees, Explorations enrollees, and their administrators.
