This school year, Melissa Flores (Bay Area '16) su This school year, Melissa Flores (Bay Area '16) supported our first-year corps members as an advisor. In late 2020, Melissa shared how she hopes to make a lasting impact through her work: "I have always been interested in coaching teachers, and I felt like mentoring teachers would be a great way to start supporting teachers." Melissa also shared a take away from her time as a TFA corps member that connects to her interest: "TFA made me realize that there we need more POC in education leadership: I am currently in the process of attaining my Admin Credential." Way to go, Melissa! And thank you, @_melissaflores , for all the work you do to impact educational equity across the Bay!

Repost from @tfatwincities • Derek Chauvin was f Repost from @tfatwincities • Derek Chauvin was found guilty today on all counts, including murder. We are holding community close tonight as we feel a sense of relief from the verdict.However, this verdict does not undo the real injustice of George Floyd’s murder. George should be alive today. The verdict does not mark the end of the work that needs to be done, but reminds us of the power of our collective voice and action. We are all on stand now.As educators and leaders we owe it to our students to hold anti-racism as the through-line in our work. We must work together to breathe life into better possibilities for students and youth.#GeorgeFloyd #DaunteWright #mattersistheminimum
