Teach For India believes that in order for the country to achieve educational equity, we need a movement of leaders in a variety of sectors who are committed to and will work toward ensuring that every child in India receives an excellent education.
To build this movement of leaders, Teach For India will recruit India’s most outstanding recent graduates and young professionals to serve as teachers in low income urban and rural schools for two years. In the short run, these young leaders will act as a source of dedicated teachers in government and low-income private schools.TFI will provide resources, training, and support to these Fellows so they can employ innovative teaching strategies and maximize their effectiveness in the classroom. Believing that teaching is leadership, TFI Fellows will go beyond traditional teaching practices, and build upon their own professional development skills, such as organization, critical thinking, management, communications, and leadership, that are applicable and highly in demand in a variety of sectors outside education. Fellows will gain important knowledge and experience of India’s educational system and its challenges, which will enable them to provide solutions to problems faced within their classrooms and school communities.
Upon completion of their two years of service, Teach For India Alumni will collaborate through the organization’s Alumni Network, and regardless of the career path they choose after their TFI Fellowship, will work toward fighting educational inequity in India.
Teach For India believes that the power of one is significant, but the power of many leaders coming together to address social injustice is infinite.
