Teach For America

This week, the Duval County School Board approved a commitment to Teach for America (TFA), a nationally-renowned and highly competitive teacher recruitment program, which demonstrates its support for Jacksonville becoming a TFA-affiliate city in 2008/2009. This is HUGE for us in efforts to build on our professional learning communities and engage our business and philanthropic leaders in our work. If Jacksonville is selected, what support and advice would you give to the corps of recent outstanding college graduates who would be assigned to serve and inspire our most challenged students?
