The nonprofit Teach for America, which recruits bright college graduates to teach in urban and rural schools, has faced challenges in its first year in Milwaukee. But as the academic year winds to a close, data shows that 70% of Milwaukeeâ??s TFA teachers are on track to attain a year or more of academic growth with their students. Rodney Lynk Jr., 23, seems to be one of those people. An MPS graduate, Lynk was on his way to becoming an investment banker after the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Then he saw that TFA was coming to Milwaukee.
