Jobs Comments Off on JET Alumni Invited to Apply to Teach For America
Note: The below announcement resulted from a discussion between JETAA USA Board of Advisors member Jessyca Livingston (Hokkaido, 2003-06) and Christie Clark of Teach For America after they realized there have been a significant number of JETs who have done TFA and vice-versa. (e.g., It turns out that current AJET Chair Mark Noizumi is a TFA alum.) TFA has had good experience with JET alumni who go on to work for TFA, and the JET Programme certainly appreciates applicants who come with the kind of prior teaching experience that TFA alums have. Stay tuned for more info as JETAA seeks to grow its relationship with TFA.
JET ALUMNI INVITED TO APPLY TO TEACH FOR AMERICA

Teach For America enlists a diverse corps of leaders who commit to teach for at least two years in urban and rural public schools and become lifelong advocates in the effort to expand educational opportunity.
