Overview
Over each of the three days, I learned about different key skills as a teacher and used these in examples with my peers. I also heard from Teach First’s industry partners so the sessions were diverse and very interesting.
Skills
My classroom management and presentation skills are vastly improved from when I applied. I now know what to look for in a good and bad class and how to plan lessons
Business Insight
It was interesting to learn that going through the Teach first scheme does not limit you to being a teacher - I met people who now work in industry who were teachers and are now advisors and consultants
Culture
The company proved to have an excellent culture as there was a big talk and focus on diversity and inclusion. They didn’t just talk the talk, they clearly cared about the excellent work they’ve already done and know the work they’ve still to do. All very friendly and they used gender neutral pronouns a lot and the leaders all had their pronouns on their names.
Your Impressions
Very enjoyable, although sitting at my PC from 9-5 was a bit long, there were plenty of breaks and it was well worth it
Yes
Teach First isn’t looking for the finished product - they want people willing to learn new techniques and those who can reflect on what they’ve done in the past to get better.
