The organization recruits the best undergraduates, graduates or young professionals and places them in a higher education Fellowship program lasting two years, with the aim of bringing them into the Italian educational ecosystem. In these two years, teachers-Fellows teach in schools where the challenges of educational poverty is greatest, while being trained and supported to become "transformative teachers", committed to shaping not only the educational outcomes of their students, but also their view of the world and their identities. Through its activities, Teach For Italy promotes a future where all students at all levels, from pre-school to secondary school, can realize their aspirations, regardless of their economic and social background and the educational level of their family. Our mission is to strengthen the Italian education system. Our goal is to generate impact on three levels: in the classroom, in communities surrounding our schools and in the broader educational ecosystem. Our Mission: We want elevate the role of teachers by selecting and training young talents to teach in environments where the challenges of educational poverty are greatest. Long-term, our aim is to build a network of future educational leaders in all sectors of Italy, who will devote their lives to strengthening the education system and countering educational inequalities. Our Vision: We envision a country where every student, regardless of geographic origin, socio-economic status and family educational level, can have a choice in determining their own educational pathway that helps them develop their potential. Changing outcomes for children requires changes in policy, practice, and culture-which means it requires people exercising leadership at every level of education and government, from inside and outside of the system. Meaningful, sustainable change requires collective leadership-many people working together across lines of difference and levels of power, and led by those who have experienced the inequities being addressed. We want to have an impact on society by providing educational opportunities, but to tackle this complex challenge requires collective leadership. Around the world, Teach For All network partners are developing collective leadership to ensure all children can fulfilltheir potential.
