Teach For India (TFI) is a non-profit and a movement of leaders that was founded by Shaheen Mistri in 2009. It is a part of the Teach For All network.[1] To build a growing movement of leaders, Teach For India runs a two year Fellowship and supports an Alumni movement. The Fellowship recruits college graduates and working professionals to serve as full-time teachers in low-income schools for two years.[2] The mission of Teach For India is “one day all children will attain an excellent education.”[3][4][5]

The Fellowship is an opportunity for India’s brightest and most promising youth, from the nation’s best universities and workplaces, to serve as full-time teachers to children from low-income communities in under-resourced schools. Post the Fellowship, you join a network of leaders serving in various pathways known as the Alumni movement.[6]

The Teach For India model consisting of a selective recruitment and selection process, focuses on ongoing teacher training and leadership development, measures the impact of Students, the leadership growth of Fellows and impact the Alumni has had on the education system.


The Education crisis in India

India with approximately 1 in 4 people below the age of 14 years, stands at an inflection point on the ability to provide equal opportunities for all children to attain an excellent education. More than 50% of students in Grade 5 cannot read a Grade 2 text or solve a simple subtraction problem. Teach For India believes that at the root of this crisis in Indian education lies a crisis of leadership. Teach For India’s motive is precisely to fill this deficit of leadership in education.[7]

History

In 2006, The founder of Teach For India Shaheen Mistri, 17 years after starting the Akanksha Foundation felt compelled to address the issue of educational inequity at a larger scale. She believed that the solution was a people’s movement that needed to come in unison to provide every Indian child with an outstanding education.

In 2007, Shaheen Mistri met with Wendy Kopp, the Founder of Teach For America, and the ideation process to keep ‘leadership’ at the core was ignited.

In 2009, Teach For India welcomed the first cohort, the Class of 2009, to the Fellowship. The 87 ‘Niners’ formed the beginning of a nationwide movement of diverse leaders.

In 2011, two years later, the Niners graduated from the Fellowship and became the first cohort in Teach For India’s Alumni movement. The first cohort of Alumni then went on to work in several pathways such as teaching, teacher training, school leadership, and government policy solving the complex problem of educational equity.

Today, Teach For India has 900 Fellows working relentlessly to change the lives of Students in their classrooms and have become leaders driving change. Now, the organization has over 3400 Alumni who are collectively fuelling the larger movement towards their vision.

Teach For India Model

Teach For India has a short term theory of change and a long term theory of change. In the short term, Teach For India follows a two-year Fellowship model. Their Fellows’ through the course of two years of teaching and working with key education stakeholders, are exposed to the realities of India’s education system. The Fellows, in these years, cultivate the knowledge, skills, and mindsets required to achieve positions of leadership in and beyond education. In the long term theory of change, Fellows who graduate from the Fellowship join the Alumni movement.

The model for the Fellowship starts with a selective recruitment and selection process, followed by an ongoing teacher training and leadership development, after which Teach For India measures the impact of Students and the leadership growth of Fellows.

Each Fellow is assigned a classroom in one of Teach For India’s placement cities to teach academics, values, mindsets and to give Students the access and exposure they require to reach their personal, long-term visions. Post-Fellowship, they join the Alumni movement that’s working across various pathways for a more equitable India.

The long-term vision for Teach For India’s Fellows

  • The Commitment to Personal Transformation: Exploring who you are, your purpose, and striving to be a better person.
  • The Commitment to Collective Action: Building relationships and organizing partners to multiply and deepen our impact.
  • The Commitment to Educational Equity: Deepening our understanding of educational equity and committing to attaining it.

Fellows work on these commitments in and beyond the full-time lab of their classroom, where they relentlessly focus on moving their Students towards “path-changing” learning, the highest level of our Student Vision Scale. By growing in the 3 commitments, and embedded with real-life leadership experiences in the classroom and communities, Fellows are ready to be lifelong learners and leaders for greater impact on children.

In the next stage, Fellows either start their organizations or hold key positions of leadership, both within and beyond the education sector.
