“One of the main barriers to improving educational inequality in America is that the vast majority of Americans have never had to work, socialize, or even walk through communities most affected by these injustices.” - Cody Puckett (Chicago-Northwest Indiana, ‘16) This week, instead of continuing our “Why join the movement” campaign to welcome our 40+ new #2018corps members, we’ll be sharing some inspiring quotes from our second years’ #capstoneprojects. In these projects, they reflected on their two years in the classroom, and how we can better serve our students and communities. Stay tuned for more!
Follow along with Miss Witkin! TFA Corps Member (‘16) and 2nd Grade teacher in West Englewood will be taking over our feed to showcase the 2016 Corps members at the Capstone Symposium👩🏻‍🏫
