Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We were taught about elements of the programs they provide as well as taught skills that are critical to becoming a teacher. This was paired with the chance to plan and execute a lesson, that was critiqued by one of their teachers. Very informative two day experience
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was really clear what they expect from us and what the course would look like. They broke down the role of being a teach first teacher and how the two year training program will look like.
