Equity Talks Event Series
Event 1: Finding Purpose and Hope in Anti-Racist Activism

Racial inequity is at the forefront of the national conversation. Engage in a “fireside chat” with a leader in the racial and social justice movement and learn ways to use your own strengths and advocacy in the movement for anti-racism. During the event, you will have the opportunity to ask questions about race, injustice, and how you can work towards becoming an equity-minded changemaker. 
  • Date: October 1st
  • Time: 4:00 - 5:00pm EST
  • Register Here

The Real Deal:
Former Early Admitted Applicants share their real life experiences as corps members 

Current corps members who applied early to TFA discuss life in the corps. Join us to hear about a “day in the life” as a teacher and learn about corps members’ transitions from an Early Admitted Applicant to the corps, hear about real-life challenges teachers are facing as a result of the pandemic, and help brainstorm solutions in real-time.  After a panel discussion, attendees will go into smaller breakout groups to engage directly with the panelists. 
  • Date: October 8th
  • Time: 7:00pm-8:00pm EST/4:00pm - 5:00pm PST
  • Sign up here

Design Your Impact Masterclass:
Prepare for Classroom Impact in Your Region 

Begin preparing for next year as a classroom leader by designing a Vision of Impact. In a three-part series, participants will be guided through the steps of self-exploration, learning about their regions, and determining how their specific value-add and personal vision might come to life. 
Dates: October 9th - 16th
  • Explore Yourself (Zoom Call): October 9th from 10am - 11am PST/1pm - 2pm EST
  • Explore Your Region: independent research and engagement
