Forwarded to Club Geography for Carol Harden. K.B. Dear Professor Harden, I hope you'll indulge a short, out-of-the-blue email. I'm the Admissions Director of the most selective teacher prep program in the nation (even more so than Teach For America). The program is called MATCH Teacher Residency, in Boston. Basically, we give recent college graduates one year of incredibly intense training designed to make them unusually effective rookie teachers. We then help them find positions in high-need schools, and continue to support them as they begin their careers in the classroom. All the info is here: http://www.matchschool.org/matchcorps/teacher.htm <http://www.matchschool.org/matchcorps/teacher.htm> I hate to bug you since we don't know one another, but I have a simple request that seems win-win if indeed you help one of your students find just the "right" opportunity upon graduation: Do you know a few senior Geography majors who might want to teach in the inner-city, and who have demonstrated unusual grit and determination? If so, could you please send me their emails, or perhaps forward this along to them? If you can reply with any contact information or suggestions, I'd be really grateful and send you all the positive karma I have. Best wishes, Colin Bottles http://www.matchschool.org <http://www.matchschool.org/> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- To review the archives of CLUBGGY or Join/Leave the list go to: http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/clubggy.html
