Student Taster Online Review

We undertook a variety of sessions including information presentations, Q&As, group tasks and individual reflections. This allowed us to further understand the Teach First program and its mission, learn about further opportunity and what they are looking for as well as develop personal skills in relation to their main competencies. There was also an opportunity to deliver are own mini lesson and receive valuable feedback.

Definitely developed in self-reflection as well as a greater understanding of the planning and organising required in teaching. I also developed skills in presentation and collaboration.

It was super beneficial to hear more about the Teach First Graduate program and their STEM experience, including general information, structure, dates and first hand experiences. It really inspired me to look further into teaching as a career and this route into teaching specifically, It was also great to better understand what is required in terms of skills and application in order to be successful and have to chance to practise a teaching episode.

It was really friendly and welcoming! They were more than happy to answer any questions and gave us plenty of break when needed. They were also really accommodating of all our needs!

I definitely enjoyed it a lot and I think it was a really worthwhile two days. It was overall engaging with lots of insightful activities and information. The content was balanced really well and the resources provided made the day easy to follow and manageable. It was however still challenging which is good because I feel like I learnt a lot.

Research the company and ensure you empathise with and understand their mission and values. Even if you are not 100% set on teaching it is a really great opportunity to develop other skills as well and gives insight into a possible avenue to explore when you graduate. Be yourself when answering the questions/making your video and let your own voice and passion shine through.
