Teach For America Houston

Description

• Firsthand experience has shown us that, when given the opportunity, students in low-income communities can and will achieve at high levels. Armed with this knowledge, our corps members and alumni work relentlessly to increase academic achievement and expand educational opportunities for their students.Since our inception in 1990, the Teach For America network has grown to include 24,000 individuals. Currently, some 7,300 Teach For America corps members teach in 35 urban and rural areas profoundly affected by the achievement gap. They are working extraordinarily hard to ensure that their students achieve academic success despite the inequities they face.Our alumni are a powerful and growing force for change. By exerting leadership from inside and outside education, our nearly 17,000 alumni leverage their corps experience to improve outcomes and opportunities for low-income students and to fight for systemic reform.Because of the impact our corps members and alumni are having in the short and long term, there is tremendous demand within communities and larger education reform circles for Teach For America. In fact, we are growing our presence in regions where we already place corps members, and will be expanding to new communities for the 2009-10 school year.
