Our Partnership with Teach For All

Teach For All recruits university graduates to work as temporary teachers
All partner organizations in the Teach For All (TFAll) network recruit outstanding university graduates from various disciplines to serve as schoolteachers, called “Fellows”, for two years in disadvantaged communities. Teaching participants not only raise student achievements in the short term, but become long-term advocates of educational equality. The TFAll network deployed some 12,000 teaching participants in 2011, providing support to more than 800,000 children and teens.

As part of our partnership with TFAll, we are currently supporting the network to grow from 23 to more than 30 independent national partner organizations by 2013. We are also working closely with six country organizations in Argentina, Chile, Germany, India, Peru and Spain. Together we develop competency profiles, for example, and take part in the recruiting process of new teaching participants.
We also support the teachers in their personal development and help them to discover job and career prospects with mentoring programs, internships or trainings.

Activities with our partner organizations
We conduct numerous activities for children in schools of TFAll partner organizations. These include special events at the schools, student visits to our branch offices, mentoring and internship opportunities and donation drives for teaching materials.
