@blythebernhard Those schools we supposedly ‘pulled out of?’ Nearly 1 in 5 public schools in STL city is led by an alum of TFA. These are professional educators dedicated to students who were recruited to the Ed field by TFA (which continues to support and invest in talent pipelines in our city)
@blythebernhard Hey Blythe-as the Executive Director of TFA STL, want to state for the record that TFA did not ‘pull out’ of STL. We recruited 1000 teachers here over the last 20 years and today are supporting a network of 600 alumni- developing educators in service of STL students.
Underlying all this pain about the TX law is the notion that an unintended and/or forced pregnancy by rape or incest is a moral failing of the woman. But random unprotected sex by men is still just fine. That’s part of why most women are angry.
Teach For America St. Louis has been training a corps of over 1,000 teachers since 2002. But educational excellence at a systems level is ignited through leadership. @TFASTL develops leaders in service of educational equity. #LeadershipMatters @TeachForAmerica
