The Education of Ms. Groves
Friday, August 25th, 2006Perhaps you are reading this blog because you are interested in my Ph.D. journey at NCU.
Maybe you are curious about returning to grad school because you are considering it yourself.
Or, you are reading this blog because you believe in education.
Like I do.
I have written previously about Teach for America, an organization that my daughter is associated with as a recruiter. I am pleased to direct you to the Dateline NBC website for a set of wonderful articles about Teach for America.
Correspondent Hoda Kotb reports on “The Education of Ms. Groves,” the story of a new Teach for America teacher, Monica Groves, and her experiences at Jean Childs Middle School in Atlanta. She began the job thinking that she was the teacher, and soon found out that she was the one who had a lesson to learn.
Dateline NBC will air this report on Saturday here in our local market. Be sure to watch this program to learn more about Teach for America.
Check out the Newsweek article, “15 Ideas to Recharge America“, and the essay by Wendy Kopp, President and founder of Teach for America. If you are interested in learning more about Teach for America visit their website. If you would like to contribute, click here.
One day, all children in this nation
will have the opportunity to attain an excellent education.
Do you believe?
I do.
