Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
On a day-to-day basis we attended talks, questions and answer sessions with members of Teach First staff and ambassadors and completed really fun activities such as a debate, problem-solving activity and taught a mini lesson.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
This is the only area they could have done better in. They were really good in explaining what schemes and opportunities they had available, but didn't provide a clear answer on the application timeline for their Training programme and weren't particularly clear on the requirements for the programme. Ultimately, the whole Training programme process wasn't made that understandable.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
The top two skills I developed over the course of this insight experience were better self reflection and communication skills. This is because Teach First gave us an abundant amount of opportunities to network and meet new people who were also attending the programme. Additionally, Teach first continually encouraged us to reflect on what we had done and skills we developed after activities, with a session devoted to this at the very beginning of the programme and very end.
