Teach For America recently ranked No. 70 on Fortune's annual 100 Best Companies to Work For list.
The program, which enlists recent college grads to teach in low-income neighborhoods across the U.S., is tough work.
Just ask Bobby Edenfield, a 24-year-old teacher in a neighborhood right outside Washington, D.C.
"It's definitely hard and stressful, but I love teaching," he tells us. "It makes a big difference in the lives of these kids."
Edenfield didn't plan on becoming a teacher. But after a spring break trip to D.C., where he learned of the area's staggeringly low education rates, he changed his mind. "It's so intense, especially the planning, but I never thought I would love being a teacher as much as I do," he says. "It's a big time commitment and is the most life-changing experience I've had."
Edenfield offered to take a camera around with him for a day and document what it's really like as a Teach For America employee.
I wake up at 5 a.m., before the sun rises. My apartment window overlooks Maryland Ave., just blocks from Capitol Hill

After a quick workout to keep me on my toes for the day, I arrive at Imagine Foundations II, a public charter school outside D.C., at 6:45 a.m.

The first thing I do when I come in is set up my interactive StarBoard. I load up ClassDojo, a behavior system that is very useful in behavior tracking, and all documents I need for the day
