Teach For America-Feb.4 Application deadline!


Teach For America is hiring exceptional recent college graduates and professionals -
of all majors, backgrounds, and career interests - who commit to teach for two years
in our nation's most disadvantaged communities.  As a teacher, you will be paid a
full salary, receive a comprehensive health insurance package along with full
retirement benefits, an AmeriCorps education award to cover teacher certification
costs or to pay student loans, and you will be eligible for no-interest loans and
grants for relocation. 

Teach For America is committed to eliminating the inequities between high income and
low income students in the United States. To date, 8,200 corps members are teaching
in 39 regions across the country, while over 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.

Hear what Patricia Leon-Guerrero, a Teach For America alumna, says about her
experience in the corps:
“In our country today, Latino 4th graders growing up in low-income communities are
already three grade levels behind their high-income peers, and by 12th grade they
are five times less likely than their Caucasian peers to         score proficient or above
in science.  As a corps member, I was able to help change this. The experience and
opportunities Teach For America provided, made this one of the most important and
rewarding experiences in my life. Not only was I able to pave the inroads for future
Hispanic leaders, but I was able to do so without being worried about my financial
situation and getting off my career track. I would encourage you to apply now and be
a part of the movement to impact the lives of the thousands of children who, without
you will not be given the chance to get to where you are today.”

You have the ability to change the lives of our Latino students and ensure that they
will receive the quality education that they deserve, while not compromising your
career trajectory. Teach For America was recently named one of Fortune’ top 100 best
places to work in 2011. Take the first step to this life-changing experience by
applying now to the 2011 Teach For America corps.
