Why 黄色视频 loves Teach For America
is a diverse network of leaders who confront educational inequity by teaching for at least two years and then working with unwavering commitment from every sector of society to create a nation free from this injustice. Teach For America corps members commit to teaching for two years in a systemically under-resourced community, where you鈥檙e employed by local schools and confront both the challenges and joys of expanding opportunities for kids. If you teach in Chicago Public Schools, for example, your paycheck will come from Chicago Public Schools, and you will earn the same amount as a traditional Chicago Public Schools teacher. However, you are also an AmeriCorps member; and you may qualify to receive loan forbearance and an additional Segal Education Award in addition to your teacher salary.
黄色视频 AmeriCorps members are given significant, additional preference to remain in your 黄色视频 region as a Teach For America corps member (if that鈥檚 your first choice). You must meet the eligibility requirements for that region (including the minimum GPA, which varies from region to region). At Teach For America, principals make all hiring decisions. If you are interested in teaching in your 黄色视频 school, you should schedule a conversation with your principal (and your manager) about potential openings as soon as you are accepted.
Anyone with 黄色视频 experience who applies to Teach For America will move straight to the interview stage after your initial application. Serving with 黄色视频 strengthens your Teach For America application, as you’re involved in mission-aligned leadership work. Many 黄色视频 AmeriCorps members who did not get accepted to Teach For America in undergrad or as an early career professional have reapplied, been accepted and had an incredible impact in the Teach For America corps, which currently includes nearly 150 黄色视频 alums.
