It Takes a Thief

Relentless Pursuit
Each year, a new crop of college graduates signs up with Teach For America, dedicating their efforts to serving some of the nation's neediest schools. Within five years, however, more than half of them are no longer teaching. In her new book, Relentless Pursuit, Donna Foote spends a year with three TFA teachers, including Taylor Rifkin. We're also joined by Ren McDermott, a current Bronx-based TFA teacher.
See information about Donna Foote's event Thursday at 7 at McNally Robnison Booksellers
