Welcome to TFA Gettysburg!

We're a group of Gettysburg College graduates serious about education the next generation of United States citizens. We've all signed on to Teach for America for two years. We all have had the common experience of going to Gettysburg College and gracing the beautiful campus we've come to know the past 4 years. Now we embark across the country.

• Dave has been placed in the D.C. Region corps. He will be teaching secondary biology in Prince George's County.
• Amanda has been placed in the Louisiana region corps and will be teaching special education.
• Haley has been placed in Houston region corps and will be teaching secondary mathematics.
• Ambika has been placed in the New York City region corps and will be teaching English as a Second Language.

Over the next two years, we hope to share some of our common experiences as teachers in the front lines across the country. We hope to add more authors as future graduates of Gettysburg College join the corps. We encourage Gettysburg Alums, friends, family, and more to support us through this interesting path we have before us. We hope you'll join us for the ride.

Over the next months, we'll try and blog about our institute. We all are attending different training institutes and we'll certainly have different reflections. At this point, I don't think any of us have been placed - you'll likely here about how that goes. Then we'll have our classrooms--first day will be frightening. We'll try to paint a realistic picture--with the good, the bad, and the ugly--of what it's like to transition into teaching.
