We have 2 Teach for America teachers at my school
By Kay

Clip to ScrapBook   
These are not certified or trained teachers. From what I understand, these are young recent graduates with degrees from top schools (ours come from Stanford and Yale). They are given 5-6 weeks of intense (and I mean taught to be intense) classroom management training. Then placed in a classroom, in a culture they are very unfamiliar with. We are in a rural southern area. I bet these two had major culture shock!!!

Anyway, they are intelligent young people. I know one of ours will someday be a good teacher. They both seem very dedicated and want to learn.
