That's A Whole Lotta TFA
NY Times' Sam Dillon, one of the last remaining vestiges of what is becoming an education journalism ghosttown, reports on the largest class ever of Teach For America corps members.
It is amazing that TFA has become the hottest recruiter on our most prestigious college campuses. God bless them.
What is even more amazing, however, is that there are still some states where credential requirements prevent these bright world-changers from entering the classroom.
AP's Nancy Zuckerbroad writes about the TFA surge here.
I continue to believe that TFA will someday rule the universe.
