I have not worked with any TFA teachers personally, so I cannot comment upon their effectiveness. However, in the present economy, with so many fully credentialed, well-qualified teachers unemployed, why would any district hire from the TFA corps? In California alone, there are thousands of laid-off teachers.

*I have taught for eleven years, and I have mentored several excellent student teachers over the past two years. These teachers were trained at either CSUN or CSU Bakersfield. Only one of them has been hired to teach full time, and she was hired by a private school.
