I hope you’ll indulge a short, out-of-the-blue email. I'm the Recruitment Manager of the most selective teacher prep program in the nation (even more so than Teach for America). The program is called MATCH Teacher Residency, and it’s located in Boston. Basically, we give recent college graduates one year of incredibly intense training designed to make them unusually effective rookie teachers. We then help them find positions in high-need schools, and continue to support them as they begin their careers in the classroom.
All the info is here: http://www.matchschool.org/matchcorps/teacher.htm
I have a simple request that seems win-win if indeed you help one of your students find just the "right" opportunity upon graduation: Do you know a few senior Chemistry majors who might want to teach in the inner-city, and who have demonstrated unusual grit and determination? If so, could you please send me their emails, or perhaps forward this along to them?
If you can reply with any contact information or suggestions, I'd be really grateful and send you all the positive karma I have.
Best wishes,
Sara Parr
Recruitment Coordinator
MATCH Charter Public School
