Teach for America is a nationwide, non-profit organization focused on closing the achievement gaps among students in low-income areas. TFA recruits candidates via its screening process and prepares them for teaching in Kentucky. It allows a person in a field other than education to receive a one-year Temporary Provisional Certificate (elementary, middle, and/or secondary) renewable for a maximum of three years, if he/she has met the following conditions: holds a bachelor’s degree; has an offer of employment from a local school district in the area of certification being sought; meets the participation criteria for the TFA program; successfully completes all training requirements of the TFA program; and passes all content assessments required by EPSB in the area of certification being sought.
