Teach For America and Lilly Launch Program to Match Lilly Employees with Teachers in Underserved Public Schools
Date:10/28/2008

University of Notre Dame and Harvard University.

A growing body of rigorous research on Teach For America demonstrates the effectiveness of corps members in the classroom. A study released this year by the Urban Institute found that Teach For America corps members have a positive impact on student achievement relative to other teachers, including those who are fully certified in their subject areas.

Teach For America's impact extends to the long-term engagement of its alumni in education and public service. Some two-thirds of Teach For America alumni are still working or studying full-time in education, including 4,000 classroom teachers and more than 360 school leaders. In addition, 15 Teach For Alumni serve as elected officials and more than 500 work on Capitol Hill or in government or policy.

"As Lilly encourages employee volunteerism, we have chosen to place a significant emphasis on educational outreach that drives measurable results," said Robert Smith, president of the Lilly Foundation. "We are excited about this new collaboration with Teach For America and look forward to sharing the time and talents of our Lilly employees to make this outstanding program even better."

Speakers at tonight's event will include Robert Smith, Derica Rice, Lilly's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Teach For America corps member Stephanie Parido, an honors graduate of the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University who teaches math at Willard J. Gambold Middle School.
