Institute
After briefly getting acquainted with our region firsthand, our new
teachers go off to Summer Institute where they will spend 5 weeks living
on a college campus taking classes and teaching summer school with new
teachers from other regions as well (often mostly rural and mostly
southern regions). During this time our corps members build their
knowledge and skills through workshops, one on one coaching with a Corps
Member Adviser (CMA), and practice in the classroom. Key areas of focus
during this time are creating classroom goals and vision, investment
and management, lesson planning, and tracking and analyzing student
data. This is run by a separate TFA team comprised of some full time
staff and a large number of summer staff coming from all the different
regions that send new teachers there (including Louisiana Delta corps
members and alumni).
Timeline: 5 weeks, early June through mid July
