    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the virtual internship and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

    • It was two days online where we heard from multiple people from Teach First including teachers who had completed the programme. There was also a chance to give a six minute “mini lesson” to get an idea about what teaching and preparing a lesson is like.

    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I’ve improved my self-evaluation skills and organisation skills a lot as we frequent gave self-evaluations and were having professionals evaluating us also. The mini lesson also gave me a chance to improve my organising and time management skills
