[quote=Anonymous]I don't know much about Urban Teachers, but another issue with Teach For America is that their teachers are often placed outside of their content area. So they might be English majors teaching Science. Thus, not only do they not have a background in education but they also might only have a rudimentary understanding of the content they are expected to teach. To be fair to both programs, the biggest challenge new teachers (regardless of their education background) will have is figuring out classroom management and dealing with behavior issues. This will also be the biggest reason a teacher will quit within the first few years of teaching.[/quote]
