Teach For All Counter-Narratives

International Perspectives on a Global Reform Movement

Herausgegeben: Brewer, T. Jameson; deMarrais, Kathleen; McFaden, Kelly L.

Beschreibung

Founded in 1989, Teach For America (TFA) has grown into a massive organization with a presence across the United States and has expanded internationally to 46 countries. TFA's international expansion through Teach For All (TFAll) coincides with a broader exportation of neoliberal education reform ideologies across the globe. As a follow up to Teach For America Counter-Narratives: Alumni Speak Up and Speak Out (Peter Lang, 2015), this text is the first to provide a glimpse into the first-hand experiences of those impacted by the colonizing nature of TFAll and the global education reform movement of privatization.
