Hi everyone! As Senior year begins, I have started to think about my options for next year. My first choice program is Teach for America. This a program that gives students with exemplary leadership skills the opportunity to teach in Title 1 schools and get their masters degrees in Education at the same time. The program heavily subsidizes the tuition to different graduate schools and participants are also given a full teachers salary while part of the program. This is one of the most prestigious and difficult to get into teaching fellowships in the country. Binghamton has someone who recruits for Teach for America which is how I came to applying for the program. After meeting with a recruiter, I submitted my application. I was so excited to find out that I was going to be skipped through the second round 3o minute phone interview straight to the full day final interview! During this interview I had to prepare a sample lesson plan, talk about educational issues, did team problem solving activities, and had a final interview. It was a great day and now I am super nervous/ excited to hear back from them!! I strongly encourage anyone who is interested in education both as a teacher or administration or issues in education as well as people who just want to help people to check out their website and amazing program!!!
