How is the Cal Teach program different from Teach For America?
There are two main differences between Cal Teach and Teach For America. First, in the Cal Teach program you will do some of your teacher preparation work while you are getting your undergraduate degree instead of doing it all afterwards. Second, in the Cal Teach program you have control over your job placement. TFA places teachers according to program need; you are not sure to get the city, grade level, or subject of your choice. In Cal Teach, you know you will stay in California, and you will be in charge of your own job placement activities.
