Teach For China () is a Chinese non-profit organization that seeks to eliminate educational inequity in China by enlisting promising future leaders from China and the United States. The organization operates as a partner of the Teach For All network, a "global network of independent social enterprises working to expand educational opportunity in their countries by enlisting talented future leaders to the effort." Teach For China recruits outstanding college graduates from China and the US—called "Fellows"—and trains them to serve as full-time teachers for two years in under-resourced Chinese schools. Fellows first undergo an intensive training program including pedagogy and Chinese language skills (for American Fellows). Following this training program, Fellows are placed in under-resourced schools in Yunnan and Guangdong provinces. At their schools, Teach For China Fellows are full-time members of the faculty and receive a salary commensurate with that of local teachers in their placement regions. American Fellows typically teach English language, while Chinese Fellows teach other core subjects such as science, math, geography, and ethics. ==History== Andrea Pasinetti founded Teach For China (under the name China Education Initiative) at Tsinghua University in March 2008. Pasinetti studied at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. With a background in Chinese rural reform policies and experience as director of Princeton University’s Interact Program, he turned his attention towards rural China during a year of study at Tsinghua University. While there, he met Rachel Wasser, a graduate of Yale University with research experience in Chinese non-profit culture and governance, and Hu Tingting, a graduate of Tsinghua University with an advanced degree in History and experience in educational outreach and exchange. In August 2008, Pasinetti recruited Wasser and Hu to be members of the founding team as Teach For China was incorporated officially as an American 501c(3) nonprofit. In August 2009, the inaugural corps of 20 Fellows arrived at schools in Heqing County, Yunnan. Soon after, Teach For China joined the global education network Teach For All in March 2010. Teach For China was registered as an official Chinese ‘non-enterprise unit’ in Yunnan Province in April 2010. In August 2010, the second corps of over 50 Fellows arrived at schools in Heqing County and Lincang Prefecture, Yunnan. In April 2011, Teach For China was recognized as an official partner in the 100,000 Strong Initiative to increase the number and diversity of Americans studying and serving in China by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and State Councilor Liu Yandong during the US-China People-to-People Exchange. That same month, China Education Initiative officially changed its name to Teach For China. To end the year, Teach For China signed a formal partnership with the China Children and Teenagers’ Fund in December. Continually expanding, the 2011-2013 class of Fellows arrived at schools in August 2011—including the organization's first cohort ever to teach in Shantou, Guangdong Province—bringing the total number of Fellows teaching in classrooms to 150. In August 2012, the 2012-2014 class of Fellows arrived at schools, bringing the total number of Fellows teaching in classrooms to nearly 220. Zhang Xin was recently elected as the chairwoman of Teach For China Board of Directors in September 2012. In 2013, Teach for China hosted the 2013 Teach For All Global Conference In Baoshan, Yunnan.〔http://teachforall.org/news/teach-all-2013-global-conference〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teach For China」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
