"We can provide an excellent education for kids in low-income communities... they can achieve at the highest levels."
Wendy Kopp Tackles Culture of Low Achievement
W endy Kopp, founder and CEO of Teach for America, proposed the creation of her nonprofit organization in an undergraduate thesis at Princeton University. Two short decades later, her strategic leadership had inspired more than 38,000 teacher participants and reached more than 3 million children nationwide. Kopp's vision as a college student was to "eliminate educational inequities," regardless of a child's family income. That vision still guides Teach for America's strategy.
Kopp's ability to engage in continuous change and performance enhancement is part of her organization's success story. "Change is Possible," states the organization's website: "We can provide an excellent education for kids in low-income communities... they can achieve at the highest levels." Part of Kopp's strategy was to identify target "priority regions" like Detroit and Memphis. Well over half of the regions in need have requested math and science teachers. The demand for subject areas such as early childhood education, special education, and Spanish/ bilingual education remains strong.
Teach for America's goal is to help children growing up in poverty beat what Kopp calls "the culture of low achievement." Her strategy is to enlist high-achieving, recent college graduates and professionals to make a difference by serving two-year teaching stints in low-income urban and rural communities. That's a teachable moment!
