Teaching As Leadership (TAL)



 Teaching as Leadership is a book by Steven Farr. Farr and Teach For America share what the organization has learned about effective teachers over the last 20 years working to close the achievement gap (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teaching_As_Leadership(


Teach For India (TFI) is centred around the idea that excellent teachers become excellent leaders. I did not buy this idea until yesterday, where at TFI I learnt the similarities between a transformational teachers and transformational leaders. It’s so amazing to know that!!

 Who else but from Shaheen (CEO of TFI) , can we get to learn about TAL model . Shaheen taught students from low-income communities and then went ahead to start Akanksha foundation. Later, Shaheen ignited the movement the of providing excellent education to every child by establishing Teach For India (TFI) in 2008. 
Teach For India (TFI) in turn creates future leaders.

It’s hardly a week in TFI, I believe my decision to join TFI is the best decision I ever made in my life. It will make me a transformational teacher and a transformation leader. World waiting for me!!

  If you out there and in a dilemma whether to make that little sacrifice to join TFI, take my word.  Teach For India (TFI) is the place for you. You will receive more than you give!!
