“I chose Dallas-Fort Worth because of the opportunities for growth the city offers its teachers. I am so thankful to have systems of support through Teach For America, my school, and my district.Not only have my leadership skills developed in the classroom through practice and experience, but also I have had several opportunities to lead in my school—even as a second-year teacher.”
