corps in new Haven public schools in September 2006. The
expansion from New Haven to Hartford and Bridgeport public schools
is part of Teach for America’s plan to increase its current corps of
4,400 members to 7,500 teaching nationally in more than 30 regions
by 2010. Under this plan, 250 corps members will impact more than
21,000 Connecticut students in the 2010-11 school year.
