I worked at AF Crown Heights a number of times last school year as a substitute teacher (and was lucky enough to interview and become friendly with their recruitment director Ms. W). It's a great schoool model and the kids seem to really enjoy learning. Schools like this need great teachers and great leadership in order for their mission to take hold and make a difference. I strongly encourage brooklynian teacher extraordinaires to check out the info sessions (I would be applying myself if I hadn't scored a teaching gig in Harlem).
