Teach For America is a national organization that attracts recent college graduates and prepares them for 2-year teaching assignments in classrooms across the country. It’s been here in Hawaii since 2006, where it faces a unique set of challenges. Over the next few days, HPR’s Molly Solomon explores what’s being done to address these issues and how the program has changed in recent years.

Part II of this series can be found here.
