Teach for America

Demonstrating Resilience

During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Teach for America Corps Members were faced with the extraordinary challenge of engaging with students in a remote setting. To showcase this amazing effort, the Chicago-Northwest Indiana regional office of TFA engaged RF Studio53 to help produce a film about how corps members have demonstrated resilience and supported students while schools across the country were closed.

Approach

RF Studio53 worked with the TFA-Chicago-Northwest Indiana team to identify stories and then set up virtual interviews with the selected corp members and alumni. These interviews were transformed into spotlight videos to include in newsletters which showcased each member’s unique approach to teaching their students remotely.

We provided copywriting, imagery, and a layout recommendation for each newsletter to help define the messaging associated with each video.

Results

The newsletters were sent out to the entire TFA network and the videos were posted on YouTube as part of the Demonstrate Resilience Series as well as on the Chicago-Northwest Indiana landing page. The videos continue to be shared as examples of the TFA corps members’ creative teaching approaches.

Let’s work together.

Our team is ready to start the conversation.
