I'm a long user of 7th Gen products & wholeheartedly support your mission. However as a life long educator, I am seriously concerned about your partnering with Teach for America--a program that diversely & inadequately prepares recent graduates in other fields as teachers, over people who have chosen to work in the field & who have taken two years or more of targeted teacher-training, rather than 5 weeks each of 2 summers + some additional hours throughout the school year, which is the current TfA program. This is not a recipe for success or longevity in the field.
