Molly Ness
Molly is a Teach For America alumna and a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the Johns Hopkins University,
who is currently completing her Ed.D. at the University of Virginia. As a TFA corps member she taught 6th grade
Social Studies and English as a Second Language at Roosevelt Middle School in Oakland, California,
an urban school plagued by gangs, drug use, violence, and poverty. She was awarded the Jean Wilson
Scholarship to the 2000 California Conference for Educational Leadership.
Her book Lessons
to Learn: Voices from the Front Lines of Teach for America
combines interviews and essays from Teach For America corps members and
a wide range of education experts, reflecting on the program's
successes and failures, the life lessons gathered along the way, and
the broader challenges facing our nation's public schools. Lessons to Learn was reviewed in the Harvard
Education Review, and The Philadelphia Inquirer ran this
interview with Molly.
