Principal Overall Satisfaction with Corps Members Was High

• The majority of responding principals (86 percent) indicated that they were satisfied with the corps members at their schools.
• There were significant differences in some of these perceptions by school sector and prior principal experience. Principals who were TFA alumni and those who led charter schools were significantly less likely to report positive feedback about corps members' abilities to create classroom environments that supported student growth and achievement when compared with non-TFA alumni and non–charter school participants' responses.

The Majority of Principals Would Hire or Recommend Hiring Corps Members in the Future

• Eighty-two percent of responding principals indicated that they would be willing to hire another TFA corps member if they had a teaching vacancy. Similarly, most participants (88 percent) responded that they would recommend hiring corps members to other principals.
• Principals had two potential concerns about hiring TFA corps members: corps members' classroom management skills and the fact that TFA corps members only make a two-year commitment to the teaching profession.

Principals Are Satisfied with the Training and Support That TFA Provides to Corps Members

• Nearly all respondents (92 percent) were familiar with one or more components of TFA's training and support, which includes such activities as a summer institute, coaching, group professional development sessions, and access to the broader TFA network.
• Of the principals who indicated that they were familiar with the training and support that TFA offers corps members, 88 percent indicated that they were satisfied with them.
