Build relationships with TFA NY staff, current corps members, and alum. Most importantly, you’ll meet other members of the 2023 corps, and begin to build strong connections with one another.
Reflect on your own educational experiences up to this point, and uncover how your own educational experience might, or might not align with what you’re observing during interview week. You’ll have the time to process and reflect on these moments of dissonance, as you continue to grow as a teacher and leader.
Start to build your understanding of the leadership required to make a transformational impact with your students and community.
I am from Erie, PA, and have been in New York for the past 7 years, living in both East Harlem and Williamsburg. I went to college and Ohio and was a TFA corps member in Philadelphia. I taught elementary grades for six years. I love NYC’s tacos, Broadway shows, and the best part- the people! Diverse in every way, which makes New York like no other place in the world. I support the Program Participant Operations team and lead the strategy on our relationships with partners, the overall corps member journey, and the retention of our teachers.
Prior to attending the Leadership Immersion Session, you are asked to complete a pre-work reflection that is outlined in the Hiring Logistics Guide sent to Corps Members participating in a given round.
Round 2 Corps Member Reflection Due: Tuesday, May 23rd, 2023
The Leadership Immersion session will be held virtually. During the session, you will build community with your fellow corps members, and begin to understand how your own educational experience will affect how you 'show up' as a teacher. We'll also reflect on how we approach challenges during the interview week.
Round 2 Leadership Immersion Session - Wednesday, May 24th.
