  1. I was wondering if anybody has heard anything about the program in the subject line. According to the program's site, it's the only program of its kind. It's completed only during summers, and it takes anywhere from 6 to 10 summers. It seems like there area few spots here and there that would require one to pay more than they need to.
  2. People have their opinions of Teach for America, but it's generally agreed that TFA looks good on a resume/CV. Many TFA sites have university partnerships that allow their corps members to get a Master's. I'm pretty sure these programs are tailor made for TFA corps members though and most courses are not taught my regular professors. Generally how well-regarded are these Master's? Do they get the same respect in academia as a traditional Master's? I ask because I'm going to be a TFA corps member next year in an area that partners with a pretty prestigious ed school, one that I would love to get a PhD from in the future. Would I be better off asking the school directly?
  3. Berkeley and OSU would be too far from home, but UMass looks good! Thank you for the response! As far as specific research interests go, I'm interested in oppressive nature of mainstream language ideology, the linguistic and cultural disconnect between teacher and students and its effects, education outcomes of immigrants and children of immigrants in terms of what thier home/native language is, and American dialectology, specifically AAVE. I'm finding a few faculty members here and there that'd fit the bill, but not so many programs that'd allow me to focus on these things like Penn's program would. But is that case for most people as far as finding a program that matches their interests?
  4. I'm interested in applying to Penn GSE's Educational Linguistics PhD program in the near future. From everything I'm seeing on their website, this is exactly what I want to study, but I can't seem to find any similar programs that I could also apply to in the northeast. There's Stanford- which also looks really good- and UNM but they're on the other side of the country. The closest around here I've found were the Applied Linguistics EdD and Anthropology of Education PhD programs at Columbia TC and the Bilingual Education PhD and Sociology of Education PhD programs at NYU Steinhardt. Are they as good as I'm going to get?
