TFA has a lot to recommend it but there are other great programs out there. I have been involved with two in Colorado. In CO, we have Alternative Certification which allows us to offer certification to career changers and/or degreed persons who did not student teach etc. The programs offer a masters option as well. I have been involved with the Friends’ School Teacher Training Program (Boulder) and the Stanley British Primary Teacher Training Program (Denver) which both, I believe, offer much more in the way of support than TFA. Interested candidates should check out ours, TFA, and other options. KKN Hey Jim. TFA has a lot to recommend it but there are other great programs out there.

TFA corps member like Kimmi have an incredibly positive impact on the lives of underserved students across the country. I hope we can count on an update later in the year!

I'll be cheering her on from the virtual stands! Kimmi’s dedication and enthusiasm are wonderful, and I wish to register my encouragement as she completes her first semester.
