Page 3 - 5th Anniversary Reflections

Over the last ve years, I’ve learned that we’re at the beginning of something very powerful—powerful because the cause of ensuring educational opportunity for all attracts amazing people from all over the world, because diverse cultures and new contexts inspire innovation, and because the problem we’re addressing is universal and its solutions, sharable.

It is hard to believe that Teach For All was just an idea ve years ago – an idea riddled with serious questions. Would the mission and model that now brings us together work across such diverse contexts? Would the entrepreneurial souls who start national movements make the commitment to be part of a global network? Would an organization structured as a loose network add any real value?
The pages that follow answer these questions and more. We asked
the chief executives of each Teach For All partner to share one thing, big or small, that they’ve learned from the global network. Their words say it all. They also reveal that the hearts, souls and minds of the people in and around our network are our greatest strength.
Thank you for all you’ve done to shape Teach For All into a force that has the potential to fuel transformational change for children, communities, countries, and our collective welfare.
— Wendy Kopp, CEO & CO-FOundEr, TEaCh FOr all
