Butler, Missouri – Umstattd Sonic Group (USG) recently sponsored 57 regional educators to attend the Ron Clark Academy Experience in Atlanta, Georgia — a nationally recognized professional development program for teachers.
With this latest group, Umstattd Sonic Group has now sponsored over 100 educators from
communities across Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa.
During the immersive experience, teachers observed live classroom instruction
and participated in hands-on workshops focused on student engagement, school
culture, and leadership.
“This was the best conference and training I have attended in my
23 years of teaching,” said one participating teacher, reflecting on the impact
of the RCA Experience.
Educators returned with practical tools and renewed energy to
bring back to their classrooms, impacting students across the region.
“This is something we care deeply about,” said Corbin Umstattd, partner at
Umstattd Sonic Group. “Supporting teachers is one of the most direct ways we can give
back to the communities that support us every day. The Ron Clark Academy is a
great example of how investing in our local educators creates ripple effects
far beyond the classroom.”
This effort is part of USG’s broader commitment to education, which includes
literacy programs, teacher recognition initiatives, and ongoing school
partnerships.
Umstattd Sonic Group operates 34 Sonic Drive-In locations throughout Missouri,
Kansas, and Iowa, with a mission centered on creating opportunities for people
to learn, grow, and lead.
