At Teach For America Milwaukee, we envision a Milwaukee where students experience a high quality education, taught by confident teachers who are properly supported and developed to lead their classrooms. We envision teachers who continue to receive training past their novice years in the classroom and are encouraged to evolve from good to great classroom leaders. 

We envision school leaders being supported to create the conditions for students and teachers to thrive. Investing in school leader development lifts all people in the school and accelerates the school improvement process that retains staff and boosts student achievement. 

We envision bold, equity-driven and collective leadership that is actively engaged in discussions influencing school, city and state-wide decisions impacting education and outcomes for children. We know that a child’s immediate engagement in education is in the classroom and the roles of the teacher and school leader are essential. We also know that analysis and engagement in the systems that affect day-to-day instruction and school decisions are vital towards creating lasting change in education.

The research and feedback is clear: for Milwaukee students to receive the education they deserve, we must attract, retain and train high quality teachers and leaders. These individuals can build the classroom and school environments where children can thrive and staff can be fully uplifted. However, there is also work to be done in policy and throughout the community, outside the walls of the classroom, led by individuals with the experience of a teacher and a systems-level mindset. Teach For America's role in this city is simple—to provide excellent leaders to our community, in our schools, in classrooms, and beyond. Milwaukee students and parents are calling for committed individuals to help shape a better future for the community, and we are humbled and committed to help answer that call.

The Teach For America Milwaukee community is incredibly grateful for all our supporters. All gifts help our effort to recruit, select, train, and support excellent teachers and leaders for students across Milwaukee.
