Hi,

 

At TFA, you’ll bring your own experience and skills to your classroom and can push students to academic and personal success. 

 

Teachers of all backgrounds and experience levels can expand opportunity for students. Yet all have the same foundation: a deep belief in all kids and the commitment to making it happen.

 

We’ve found that the following qualities will enable you to rise to the challenges of the job and meet students’ needs effectively. 

 

1. Belief in the potential of all students

You’re committed to doing whatever it takes to expand opportunities for students.

 

2. Demonstrated leadership

You don’t need to have traditional classroom experience, but you’re able to draw upon previous leadership experiences and apply them to the classroom.

 

3. Perseverance in the face of challenges

You’re able to adjust course quickly in challenging situations and be flexible along the way.
