Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
On the first day we got to know the competencies that Teach First stands by and self-reflect by acknowledging which of these competencies we believed we already had. Then we participated in a debate relating to education. Next we gained an understanding of what made a great teacher is and planned our own mini lesson to teach to our peers. The next day we taught that mini lesson to our peers; received feedback and gave ourselves self-reflections. We lastly reflected on our personal development over the two days.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was really interesting and helpful. I now know what careers there are out there and where to go to start that career.
