Teach For America Chicago, Illinois
For this “independent provider� that recruits but does not fully train teachers, we provide a narrative evaluation but not ratings. Teach for America provides only a small portion of the preparation for those enrolled in its program. Traditional education schools provide the larger share by enrolling individuals in coursework required after program graduation. Given this unique design, our conventional evaluation approach could not be taken. Instead, we applied as many of our 39 standards as were relevant and indicated the strengths and weaknesses of the program rather than ratings.
