Teach First Taster Programme Review

This online taster experience took place over two days and offered insights into the mission of Teach First, the education system, how to be an effective teacher and also provided many opportunities for personal development. There were a large variety of sessions which included a debate, personal development, and even an 8 minute teaching episode.

I have become much better at self-evaluation and can now reflect on my skills and experiences in an effective manner. I also strengthened my communication and interaction skills during the many Zoom breakout rooms, as well as the debate and teaching episode.

Getting to know Teach First in terms of their values and mission was a very useful and interesting experience, as I found myself developing a better understanding of why the charity exists. It was made very clear how they worked as a company and what they look for in potential teacher trainees.

Everyone was very friendly and polite, the staff were really helpful and facilitated the sessions in a kind manner.

I really enjoyed the opportunity to get involved in so many different things, the sessions were all really useful and I found the structure to flow really well.

If you're considering applying for this taster session, you definitely should! It's only for two days but the amount of insight you get and valuable experience is really worth attending for.
