TFA & Bill Clinton

TFA and Bill Clinton--two of my favorite things.

This weekend, Clinton is hosting his annual Clinton Global Initiative in which leaders from around the globe are invited to New York City to discuss today's most pressing issues. Before leaving, they must also make a tangible commitment to doing something over the next year to help solve those problems.

One of the commitments made during this year's conference:
In a $25 million, three-year partnership, Teach for America, Teach First, Michael & Susan Dell Foundation and Amy & Larry Robbins Foundation will establish an independent teachers' corps. Initially, programs will be set up in Estonia, Germany, India, Israel, South Africa and two others countries to tackle educational disparities. (Reuters)
