Dozens of Jacksonville City officials and educators including Duval County Public Schools Superintendent Joseph Wise (right) gathered at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts Thursday for a keynote address from Teach for America founder and CEO Wendy Kopp (left). Jacksonville was recently accepted into the Teach for America program which recruits recent college graduates — regardless of their major — trains them and places them in cities in need of teachers in struggling and challenged schools. “This is a very exciting time for Jacksonville,” said Wise. “We’re honored to be a part of a program like Teach for America.”
