"Our most successful corps members use data-driven self-analysis"
There's also a 1-6 rubric that gauges the succes of teachers in TFA's core values.
The rubric is one and the same for all Corps Members in all areas and age levels, based on 1-6, not very effective.
Yeah, no one told me this before I joined (and subsequently quit) Teach for America.

A note about gauging the success of CMs. Yes, there is a big goal which is normally that 80%of students pass or academic standards set. This success is based on results on standardized tests and the academic standards set by the state's deparment of education.
LESS THAN HALF OF CORPS MEMBERS MEET THESE BIG GOALS IN THEIR FIRST YEARS AND ABOUT HALF IN THEIR SECOND YEAR DO.

I tutor as a volunteer at a KIPP school. My student told me that when he first started a year ago he was two years behind in his studies. He is now up to his grade level and looking forward to attending a private school on scholarship next year. He is so proud. His life has so changed from a year ago, it really has. He did that. Yes, he did. "Yes we can."

Can't they use some of your methods? I want you ALL to succeed. (Congratulations, by the way for doing such a great job). What do you think of the Washington, D.C. superintendant, Michelle(?) Rhee? Is she doing the right things?

They charge impoverished school districts $5000 to place uncertified teachers. These teachers really make a mess of the schools. This is a huge mess and it really has to stop.

Yes, many do go to live in the projects but most have not grown up in the projects.
Welcome : ) lol

I know personally, and I can assure you, there is plenty of "ghetto living" among TFA members. Second, THANK YOU for going into teaching and helping our kids, and, ergo, our country.

Well, I'm awfully glad to hear there are some TFA teachers out there who have been successful. : ) I'm only basing on what I've learned after speaking to ppl who were TFA teachers and struggled through teaching. Also, being a leader for a company is far different than running an inner city high school. |
