Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The session was two days in total. The first day we are introduced to Teach First vision and strategy and learn bullet points about how to design a lesson. The second day we learned diversity wellbeing in the morning and present a 6-min lesson. Overall, it is pretty organised and I learned a lot about education during this process.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very clear. Teach First mainly offers roles about teaching at disadvantaged areas
