WHY TEACH FOR AMERICA?
One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.
Carl Jung
In a young child's life, there are a multitude of influncers that can affect how they grow up. Besides their parental/guardian influencers, children have their teachers to thank for how they mature during their school years and beyond.
Why not become of those influencers in a child's life & become a role model they can look up to?
Teachers have one of the most self-fulfilling and enriching positions in the job market. Their daily interactions with students help create lasting memories and create an environment where children can learn.
Yet, with graduation rates under 80% among all high school senior aged school children, it is pivotal that we have the best of the best helping students along their path to success.
That's Where You Come In.
Anyone can teach a curriculum, but it takes a special caliber of educator to create an enriching & inspirational learning environment where children can truly soar. The classroom then becomes a place where students soar beyond test score expectations & the expectations that they have set for themselves.
