    For 35 years, Teach For America (TFA) has worked to ensure every child in the U.S. has access to an excellent education. But when the pandemic hit, they faced a challenge supporting thousands of educators across 300 communities in a digital-first world. The TFA team built OneApp—a single, streamlined hub that simplifies everything for educators, from lesson plans to wellness resources. No more juggling spreadsheets or multiple logins, just clarity, connection, and more time to focus on students. The impact? ✅ Faster onboarding for future educators ✅ Real-time insights to match talent with classrooms ✅ Support for programs like Ignite, reaching 130 schools nationwide Behind the scenes, Microsoft technology powers this ecosystem, but the real story is TFA’s unwavering commitment to equity and belonging. With every corps member who steps into a classroom, hope takes root and change begins. Learn how Microsoft is helping nonprofits like TFA drive educational equity: https://lnkd.in/eUMT-u2m
