Program areas at TFA

Corps Member Professional Development and Other - TFA develops and cultivates the leadership skills and mindsets necessary for systems-change through classroom teaching. TFA regional staff, in partnership with national support teams, are responsible for coaching corps members, monitoring progress throughout their two-year commitment, providing ongoing professional development, and connecting corps members to the broader network.
Alumni Affairs - As their careers take shape, TFA helps alumni connect with each other and with high-impact opportunities to continue to grow and learn in pursuit of collective impact. These activities focus on information/knowledge dissemination and networking, as well as leadership development in specific programmatic areas: classroom practice, school leadership, school systems leadership, policy/organizing work, and social entrepreneurship. In 2022, approximately four fifths of our 61,253 alumni worked in education or in fields that impact low-income communities.
Corps Member Recruitment, Selection and Placement - TFA recruits outstanding and diverse leaders early in their careers, who have demonstrated evidence of the values and leadership necessary to expand opportunity and access for all children inside and outside of the classroom. Major activities include on and off campus recruiting events, processing applications, and conducting interviews, and strategically placing applicants to regions that best match qualifications and preferences. In 2022, TFA placed corps members in 48 urban and rural regions throughout the United States and provided assistance through a need based financial aid program to support them with their moves to these regions.
Pre-Service Institute - TFA provides intensive summer training for incoming corps members, led by staff and in partnership with local public school districts. In response to COVID-19 safety requirements in place during summer 2021, approximately 2,637 corps members were trained in a virtual pre-service setting.
