All of our training and support is towards the goal of developing teacher leaders who realize ambitious outcomes for students. This work is grounded in a CM roadmap of development with the following domains: rigorous instruction, strong classroom environments, learning, and relationships.

As a TFA corps member, you will engage in a pre-service model with corps members from across the country, the goal of which is to develop you as a teacher leader, ready to lead a classroom towards strong student outcomes. Our Pre-Service model has the following phases: 

• Launch: Launch contains a set of asynchronous modules to prepare corps members for summer training
• Training: During training, corps members will spend about two weeks on centralized learning experiences, primarily done synchronously with some asynchronous engagements throughout.
• Regional Week: Corps members will then transition to work with their regional team and regional peers. This may be virtual or in person in your region. During this time, you'll learn more about your local context and prepare to teach at practicum.
• Practicum: Following regional week, you'll engage in a ~3-week practicum experience. Corps members split their time between virtual centralized training and in-person practicum training, which will include regional programming, classroom teaching, and coaching.
• Ongoing: you will be supported by a dedicated coach who will guide your overall development from the time you accept your offer to the corps. You will have access to a robust and flexible ecosystem of support that includes instructional coaching, wellness resources, on-demand tools and resources, in addition to what is available and provided within your regional context. You will also engage in ongoing leadership development experiences.
