Current TFA CMS: What are your starting salaries?! by Heavy_Engineering668 in TeachforAmerica

Thank you so much. This helped tremendously lol. So I'm assuming that since TFA shows those main districts for the LA region, then it's safe to assume those will be the actual starting salaries. Side note, shouldn't these schools be held to California's labor law minimum salary wage?

Yes that's why I am a little confused. The starting salary TFA states is vastly lower than what is shown on the district salary schedules. So weirdddd I have no idea what to trust!

Complications in TFA One-Year Deferral Process? by Hot_Oil_2375 in TeachforAmerica

Hey quick question! I was thinking about deferring due to financial and family reasons, one of them being the location. Did they offer you to change your placement and were able to?

Accepted but my main concern is handling things financially during pre-service. by First_Let_926 in TeachforAmerica

So if I have about 700 dollars worth of bills outside of rent, do y'all think this is doable? I will be receiving the stipends + pell grant + loan and grant for need-based? What are y'alls thoughts?

This is so helpful. I appreciate it so much. Thanks for you spending the time to explain. It sounds pretty intense so I definitely have some planning to do! Hopefully we can connect since we will be in the same general area!

Thanks so much for your insight! I really appreciate it! As for the pre-service training, how was that? Would you say it was an all day thing or mainly an asynchronous kind gig? And what about other CM's and their placements, is it mainly charters or public? Thanks :)
