Many thanks to Jess Box '06 who is currently working for Teach for America in DC. She emailed me to let me know about summer positions with TFA to help run the summer training programs that prepare new TFA members for their teaching positions. In other words, this is a summer job with TFA, as opposed to joining TFA itself. Here's their blub:
"In the summer of 2007, Teach For America will run five institutes in Atlanta, Houston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and New York City. Across the five institutes, about 2,700 new Teach For America corps members will come together for an intensive five-week, pre-service training program. The purpose of the institute is to prepare corps members to assume full-time teaching responsibilities in the fall and produce significant academic gains with their students. Each institute team also works closely with local school districts so that new corps members can deliver a rigorous academic summer school program to more than 1,500 children in that school district."
Deadline is January 21. Find out more and apply here:
