nobody will remember: - how you stacked up against other teachers - your bad days - how many quizzes you gave your students will remember: - how having you as their teacher changed their lives

Empowering rural communities through innovation and leadership! 🌟 This year, our Rural School Leadership Academy took place in New Mexico, where participants visited the Puye Cliff Dwellings outside of Santa Fe and toured the Kha’p’o Community School in Española. By connecting with peers across the U.S. and experiencing diverse rural schools, our local leaders gain fresh ideas to benefit their communities. This initiative is a game-changer for rural educators! #RuralLeadership #InnovationInEducation #RSLA #TFA

Christhy Whang (Houston ’20) took her passion from the classroom to a whole new level. “I briefly entertained the idea of becoming a college professor,” she shared with us. “But then I thought, ‘Why spend my days debating philosophy when I could be hanging out with kids who get a kick out of fart jokes?’ Plus, nothing beats the joy of getting a big, unprompted hug from a child!” Christhy’s time as an educator shaped her children’s book, “I Made This One For You.” “The themes focus on setting healthy boundaries and respecting others and their belongings—lessons that are just as important in the classroom as they are in everyday life,” she said.
