Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The experience was a two day session that offered insights into the British education system, helped understand planning and delivering lessons and also offered networking events and talks about charities that Teach First work with. It provided me with a variety of experience and allowed me to develop my competencies that are paramount to Teach First. Sessions varied from debates, to problem solving, to teaching and to networking.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very useful to have better insights into Teach First as a charity and as a business. I felt that I got a comprehensive understanding of how they function and what roles would be available to me.
