7th/8th Math Teacher, Cheerleading Coach
I am excited to be a part of the TFA family and join the movement to solve education inequity in this country and provide all students with a quality education. I'm fortunate enough to be selected from a nationwide talent applicant pool to join a teacher corps comprised of leaders who commit a minimum of two years to teach in high need public schools. This summer I will be participating in an intensive skill and knowledge development program aiming to increase student achievement as well as a comprehensive professional development program including seminars, discussion groups, workshops, and content and professional learning communities specific to teaching license areas. I can't wait for my first year with Teach for America.
Faith Wang
Math Teacher
After 2 years in the classroom, I'm returning for a 3rd year! I have taught everything from 6th grade to 8th grade math, all the way to Algebra I, and this year I'll be teaching 6th, 7th, and 8th again. I'll be in a brand new classroom with mostly brand new students, and I have some classroom and supply needs that I could use help with. Every year, we're given roughly $300 to cover an entire year's worth of school supplies for ALL of our students. For any teacher with at least 100 students, that's only $3 per student, for the ENTIRE YEAR! It simply is not enough. Everything helps! Thanks for supporting the learning needs of the leaders of our future!
