Teach for America Opportunities

Posted by Angela Valenti On 10:51:00 AM
Teach For America is the national corps of outstanding recent college graduates and professionals - of all majors, backgrounds, and career interests - who commit to teach for two years in urban and rural public schools and become lifelong leaders in expanding educational opportunity. In a country where education is supposed to be the great equalizer, we are failing millions of students from low-income communities, who on average are performing 3-4 grade levels behind their higher income peers. Teach For America is changing this.

This fall, over 8,000 corps members will be teaching in 39 regions across the country while 20,000 Teach For America alumni continue working from inside and outside the field of education for the fundamental changes necessary to ensure educational excellence and equity.

Join the movement and apply to the 2011 Teach For America corps. NEXT Application Deadline:  Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

To learn more, visit www.teachforamerica.org or contact recruitment director Ana Wolfowicz with questions at ana.wolfowicz@teachforamerica.org

Full salary and benefits. All majors and career interests.
