🎆35 Years of Leadership, Impact, and Possibility 🎆
As we celebrate 35 years of Teach For America, we’re proud to spotlight leaders whose journeys reflect the enduring power of our network and the many ways alumni continue to shape educational opportunity long after their corps experience.

Today, we celebrate , a 2019 Indianapolis corps member whose commitment to students and communities has evolved into transformational leadership across Florida.

As Florida’s Director of Statewide Teacher Preparation & Systems Impact, Kady works to strengthen the educator pipeline, build meaningful partnerships, and support systems that prepare and develop effective teachers for students across the state. Her work reflects a deep belief that lasting change happens when we invest in both people and the systems that support them.

From serving students in the classroom to leading statewide efforts that influence teacher preparation and educational outcomes, Kady exemplifies the impact of Teach For America alumni who continue to reimagine what is possible for students and communities.

For 35 years, Teach For America alumni have led from classrooms, schools, nonprofits, businesses, and public institutions proving that educational excellence requires leadership at every level. Kady’s journey is a powerful example of how one commitment to service can create ripple effects that extend far beyond a single classroom.
Thank you, Kady, for your leadership, your vision, and your continued dedication to ensuring all students have access to excellent educators and opportunities to thrive.

Welcome to the Teach For America Family, Tampa Alumni! 🎉

We had the privilege of celebrating an important milestone the induction of our newest Teach For America Tampa alumni.

While the end of corps service marks the conclusion of one chapter, it also represents the beginning of a lifelong commitment to leadership, service, and impact. Now, these educators join a network of thousands of alumni across Florida and the nation who continue to shape classrooms, schools, communities, and systems in pursuit of a brighter future for all children.

Over the past two years, our newest alumni have shown unwavering dedication, resilience, and belief in the potential of every student. They have navigated challenges, celebrated victories, built meaningful relationships, and demonstrated what it means to lead with purpose. Their impact extends far beyond the walls of their classrooms and will continue to be felt for years to come.

As we welcomed these remarkable leaders into our alumni network, we reflected on the collective power of educators who choose to remain connected to a mission larger than themselves. Together, they represent the next generation of changemakers committed to expanding opportunity and strengthening communities across Tampa and beyond.

To our newest alumni: thank you for your leadership, your courage, and your commitment to students. We are proud of all you have accomplished and excited to see the many ways you will continue to lead and inspire in the years ahead.

Welcome to the alumni network. Your impact is just beginning. 💙

42 educators. 4 sessions. A 4.87 out of 5 average score. And not a single response below a 3. Lesson Labs is doing exactly what it was designed to do.

In April, One Florida Fellows on the Instructional Leadership Track led peer professional development sessions on navigating expectations, supporting ELL students with visuals, differentiated instruction, and backward planning. These are educators who are not just growing in their own classrooms. They are building the skills, the confidence, and the track record to move into leadership. And their colleagues are feeling it. The feedback said it all.

“I felt seen as an educator.”
“Rotating stations going in my practice immediately.”
“Share this kind of PD with more teachers.”

83% of respondents gave perfect scores across every dimension, including impact on students, community, and capability growth. These are not outside experts flying in to tell teachers what to do. These are Fellows, leading from where they stand, sharpening their craft, and preparing for what comes next.

This is what the pipeline from classroom to leadership looks like when it is built right. If you are an educator who is ready to grow, lead, and move up, link in bio to learn more about the One Florida Fellowship and how to apply. Final deadline June 1st, link in bio.

✨2026 Award Winner Spotlight✨
Taylor Bresk built a kindergarten classroom where five-year-olds remind each other to breathe, help each other find the right page, and cheer each other on.Taylor Bresk built a kindergarten classroom where five-year-olds remind each other to breathe, help each other find the right page, and cheer each other on. That culture shows up in the data too. 85% of her students are at or above proficiency on STAR Math assessments, with a 30% increase in proficient scores on the most recent progress monitoring.

And then she went further. As PTA President, she launched headphone sales so no child would miss a lesson over missing tools, organized a Trunk or Treat with the local fire station, the Miami Marlins, and Zeta Phi Beta, Inc., and hosted a community day celebrating the history and staff of Lenora Braynon Smith Elementary.
This is what a One Florida Fellow looks like. Someone who leads beyond the classroom without ever losing sight of what happens inside it.

Congratulations to our 2026 Excellence in Teaching Award winner, Taylor Bresk of Lenora Braynon Smith Elementary.

If her story resonates with you, applications for the One Florida Fellowship are now open. Link in bio!
