DO YOUR HOMEWORK Don’t rush to submit your application. As you complete your application, spend some time understanding TFA’s vision and how we aim to accomplish it. Doing this background reading will allow you to see the role you can have in our work. Consider putting yourself into the position of a corps member and think about the classroom community you hope to create for students, or consider how serving as a corps member fits into your broader career goals. You may also want to share why you are compelled to fight for educational equity through TFA.  2. HELP US GET TO KNOW YOUR “WHY” This section of your application helps us learn about who you are beyond your resume. Why are you drawn to TFA? What experiences in your life make you want to teach? What dimensions of your personal story will you bring with you to the classroom? What strengths will you leverage to create impact with your students? You don’t need teaching experience to apply to TFA or to answer these questions. This is an opportunity to show us your authentic self. 3. CREATE AN OUTLINE BEFORE DRAFTING As the application says, your responses should be about 300 words each—or about half a page, single-spaced, if you’re typing in a Word document. This relatively short length requires you to be concise and intentional in your writing. Rely on the lessons you’ve learned in your own college writing courses. You may find it helpful to outline your responses with your key bullet points before you start drafting.  4. HAVE A PEER REVIEW YOUR WORK BEFORE SUBMITTING As with any written response, it’s best to have a peer read your response to check for clarity.* If that’s not possible, make sure to read aloud your responses a few times. Writing editing tools like Grammarly, ProWriterAid, and the Hemingway app can help you double-check your grammar and fix any typos.

This is all the professor had to say about the project. Very vague, I know. Students will research one US woman who through her leisure/recreational travel discovered a condition (or set of conditions) that disadvantaged girls and women in the United States.  As this woman engaged in her recreational pursuits, she began to realize that she had the power to change and improve life conditions for others.  Her outreach may have resulted in fundraising, the establishment of a cooperative to improve economic conditions, setting up schools or scholarships, housing policies, establishing a non-profit, etc.  While the indirect benefit to the disadvantaged women (and girls) may have been to improve access to recreation and leisure opportunities this paper is really about the woman on whom you are focusing this paper’s revelation, and thereby transformation, through her personal leisure.  This 10 page paper incorporates foundational discussions of personality, leisure travel and video content presented throughout the course. How did this woman’s observation, reaction, and attention lead to empowerment for other girls and women?  Note: Some example may be found among non-profit and non-governmental organization founders leading human rights projects for women, both I the United States and internationally).
