Examining Teach For All brings together research focused on Teach For All and its affiliate programmes to explore the organisation's impact on education around the world. Teach For All is an expanding global network of programmes in more than 50 countries that aim to radically transform education systems by recruiting talented graduates to teach for two years in under-resourced schools and developing them into lifelong advocates of reform. The volume offers nuanced insights into the interests and contexts shaping Teach For All and the challenges and possibilities inherent in broader efforts to enact education reform on a global scale.

This volume is the first of its kind to present empirical research on the emergence and expansion of Teach For All programmes, which replicate and adapt the Teach For America model around the world. The volume traces the network's expansion from its initial launch in 2007 to its growing international presence, as chapters present new research from national contexts as diverse as Bangladesh, Lebanon, and Spain. Using evidence from a range of perspectives and research methodologies, the chapters collectively highlight the ways in which Teach For All and its affiliate programmes are working to alter educational landscapes worldwide.

This book will be of great interest for scholars, educators, post-graduate students, and policymakers in the fields of comparative education, teacher education, education leadership, and education policy. It paves the way for future critical inquiry into this expanding global network as well as further investigations of educational change around the world.

Rezensionen

"This book is a welcome addition to the collection of knowledge on Teach for America, Teach First UK, and their subsequent growth into TFAll. The book compiles a valuable collection of research on the TFAll network from a variety of countries and contexts, providing an excellent foundation for the novice and an expansion of insight for more practiced researchers. Its variety of empirical research styles also add to its worth in the field, as it brings a diverse set of frameworks and methodologies."

"I found

this book to be an extremely useful read and would gladly recommend it to others interested in learning more about the empirical work done on the TFAll network. The editors and the contributing authors of this volume have raised several pertinent questions and pointed out the similarities that exist between TFAll affiliates despite the organizations' claims to foreground local needs and priorities. This book could serve as a critical empirical resource for both researchers and practitioners engaging with new actors like TFAll in the global educational landscape."

"Examining Teach For All is a very informative, well-researched, and well-assembled volume for researchers and thoughtful policy makers as they critique and consider how TFAll is situated within public education across the world. Each thought-provoking chapter, while independent of one another, connects and builds across the text to provide the reader with a nuanced and informed view of the organization and its theoretical underpinnings."

"Matthew A.M. Thomas, Emilee Rauschenberger and Katherine Crawford-Garrett offer a volume that is rich with methodically eclectic, empirically grounded interrogations into how Teach for All (TfAl) engages with the educational apparatuses of different nations. The collected explorations of the book probes the heretofore under researched global network actor and advances the important work of filling gaps in knowledge and scholarship."

"The book is organised in four main sections with multiple subchapters, which although independently written, connect and blend together beautifully in order to create an overarching span and almost tell a story about TfA and its multiple implications on the educational landscape across the globe."

"The contribution of this book lies in the variety of theoretical and methodological approaches that allow us to compare the implications of this global organization for the public education systems"
