Slack Community

This platform will be used as our online community, will house Onboarding announcements and updates, as well as be a place to crowdsource support while building relationships. 

Like a huge group chat, our Slack community will allow us to have easier access to one another in order to build the community and culture we want to have virtually. All corps members are required to join Slack.

 

OneApp

Each corps member will have their own OneApp Account, which is a learning management system where you can see action items and when they are due, submit them upon completion, and track what still needs to be done. You’ll access OneApp using your TFA email address. More info on accessing the OneApp coming soon.

Accessing your TFA email address:

  • User Name: firstname.lastname.25@tfacorps.org

  • User Name example: michael.jordan.25@tfacorps.org

  • Password: The same password you use to log-in to the TFA Applicant Center

Transition Blasts

This is the monthly newsletter you'll receive on Fridays. It will house reminders on action items and will also include pieces from the community (alumni, current corps members, students, etc.) in video or article format. These newsletters are required reading in order for you to stay up-to-date on what's happening and will be sent to your TFA email address.

Onboarding Hub

The Onboarding Hub is the information center of your Onboarding Process and you’re here right now! It’s where you can find more details about licensure, hiring, or getting ready for Pre-Service. If you have a question, check the Onboarding Hub first!
