Teach For America Week brings together leaders from a variety of sectors to serve as guest teachers and inspire students across the nation, from the Bay Area to the Mississippi Delta to East Los Angeles.
Since its launch in 1997, Teach For America Week has enlisted hundreds of America’s most notable individuals to share their knowledge and personal insights with thousands of students. Classroom visits generally last no longer than an hour, but the experience resonates with students throughout the year and beyond.
During Teach For America Week, hundreds of distinguished guest teachers will help us raise awareness about the challenges facing students in low-income communities and demonstrate that when students are given the educational opportunities they deserve, they reach their highest potential.
