Teach Chicago Turnarounds (TCT) is an initiative of the Chicago Public Schools, in partnership with the Academy for Urban School Leadership, to recruit high-quality teachers for six Turnaround Schools in Chicago.  Schools selected for the "turnaround" model will be reopened for the 2008-2009 academic year with a new administration, faculty, staff and curriculum.

We are seeking teachers in all subject areas who know that a history of failure does not preclude the possibility of success; that the difference between a dropout and a graduate can be one great teacher.
