Nashville, Tennessee

About

THERE ARE MORE THAN 16 MILLION CHILDREN GROWING UP IN POVERTY IN THE UNITED STATES. These statistics are not a reflection of our children’s potential. Kids growing up in poverty can and do achieve at the highest levels. Instead, these statistics reflect the systemic lack of equity for kids in low-income communities. There are numerous forces behind this injustice—racism, outdated policies, lack of resources, and much more—so there isn’t just one simple fix. To make things right we must come together as students, teachers, principals, activists, social entrepreneurs, politicians, and all others to disrupt the causes of injustice and create solutions. It’s not just the lives of individual children at stake—this affects all of us. And it’s the responsibility of all of us to change things. Our mission is to enlist, develop, and mobilize as many as possible of our nation's most promising future leaders to grow and strengthen the movement for educational equity and excellence. We recruit remarkable and diverse individuals to become teachers in low-income communities. They commit to teach for two years and are hired by our partner public schools across the country. During these two years they are called corps members. We train and support corps members in the practices of great teachers and leaders. With hard work, perseverance, and strong partnerships with their students, students’ families, and communities, corps members can dramatically increase the opportunities available to their students in school and in life. Corps members don’t just teach their students, they learn from them. At the end of two years, they use those lessons to choose their path forward. Many stay in the classroom. Others move into politics, school leadership, nonprofit work, advocacy, and more. All of their paths matter because together they form a network—connecting, expanding, and strengthening the movement to give all kids access to a great education.

Danielle Garrett

1st year TFA Corps Member

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.

Madeline Turner

I'm so excited to be a part of the TFA Nashville family and join the movement to solve education inequity in this country by providing students with a quality education. This summer I am participating in "Summer Academy," an intensive skill and knowledge development program for Metro Nashville Public School students, and also attending professional development programs including seminars, discussion groups, workshops, and content learning. Next year, I will be teaching 8th Grade Science at Brick Church College Prep, a middle school in North Nashville. I am incredibly excited to serve my students, and I know I have so much learning to do throughout this process. As a first year teacher, I am looking forward to fostering a creative, safe, and accessible classroom for all my students; to do this, I plan to decorate my room, provide students with necessary materials, and make sure that a lack of resources is never a barrier to my students' learning. If you would like to support me, please feel free to donate through PledgeCents so that I can transform my classroom into a quality learning environment. If you would like to give your support but do not want to be tethered to the $25 increments that PledgeCents provides, please feel free to send your support to my Venmo account, @Maddy-Turner. Everything donated will be used to create a learning environment suited to my students' needs. Thank you so much. :)

Karen Cabrera McDonald

1st year TFA Corps Member

I chose to become a teacher because I know all students deserve a high-quality education. Sadly, not every student is receiving the best education for many reasons. I was fortunate to have magnificent teachers believed in me and supported my aspirations. As a product of the public K-12 system, I know the challenges that schools can face with poor funding. I have chosen to join Teach for America because they target underserved schools who need teachers that are committed to achieving educational equity.

Darian Domzalski

Elementary School Teacher

I just moved to Nashville at the end of May to start working with Teach for America whose core mission is fighting for education equity and excellence. I will be teaching in my own classroom in August and am very excited to get to meet my students and help them learn and grow. With that being said, running a classroom is expensive, especially for a recent college graduate who just moved. Any amount really does help to allow me to provide as many resources and opportunities as I can for my students.
