Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The two days were made up of lots of different sessions varying from leaning more about Teach First and its mission, networking with other students, teaching a short lesson and receiving feedback from a qualified teacher and looking at personal skills development.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was really exciting! We heard from recruiters as well as current ambassadors who went through the same program and it was clear that Teach First is really supportive of you and your career development as well as supportive of the schools and children we are teaching. I loved that if after the two years training course you realise that if teaching isn't for you, they will help to push you into other career paths.
