One day, all children will be able to obtain an excellent education. And that day gets closer every time the people doing this work come together to get curious about challenges, get creative with solutions, and figure out what's next.

That's what the Opportunity Summit is for. The premier gathering of education champions in Alabama, co-hosted by Teach For America - Alabama and A+ Education Partnership, it's a full day of teachers, school leaders, and advocates all working toward the same thing.

November 13 at Red Mountain Theatre in Birmingham. Register now.

Teaching is hard work. It gets easier when you're not doing it alone.

Our Corps Member Summits are days when Teach For America Alabama corps members come together to sharpen their skills, share what's actually happening in their classrooms, and learn from each other. This time, sessions covered navigating conflict, building relationships with students and families, and more.

Want to invest in students? Start by investing in teachers.

We're grateful for every CM who spent their Saturday with us, choosing to grow.
