In its twenty-five years of existence, Teach For America (TFA) has
transformed from an organization based on a perceived need to
ameliorate a national teacher shortage to an organization that
seeks to systematically replace traditional fully-certified
teachers while simultaneously producing alumni who are interested
in facilitating neoliberal education reform through elected
political positions. From its inception, TFA has had its share of
critics; yet criticism of the organization by its own members and
alumni has largely been silenced and relegated to the margins. This
book - the first of its kind - provides alumni of TFA with the
opportunity to share their insight on the organization. And perhaps
more importantly, this collection of counter-narratives serves as a
testament that many of the claims made by TFA are, in fact, myths
that ultimately hurt teachers and students. No longer will alumni
voices be silenced in the name of corporate and neoliberal
education reform.
