It's time for you to make a difference - to
invest your talents in changing lives and
achieving something lasting. Your energy,
intelligence and creativity can transform the
futures of pupils and drive up standards in
challenging schools around the UK. Teach
First's two-year programme provides the
training and support to enable you to make
a real impact. At the same time, it's an
opportunity to dramatically enhance your
own career potential and become part of a
movement that is effecting profound change
in our society.
Consider the way your life has been
changed by the education you have received.
Knowledge and the tools to solve problems,
insight and appreciation of the world around
you and, above all, opportunity. Now imagine
if you could help other young people to
access all that. Teach First takes exceptional
graduates and transforms them into inspiring
leaders - your leadership, inspiration and,
above all, your example can be the key that
unlocks the future for students confronted by
a wide range of personal and social issues.
And while you are transforming lives, Teach
First will help you to maximise your own
potential, discover new skills and build on
those you already have. With high-quality
training - leading to the achievement of
Qualified Teacher Status - leadership
development, coaching and ongoing alumni
programmes, Teach First will provide you
with a strong platform of skills and experience
to take forward into any management career.
That's why over 80 companies, government
agencies and public bodies back Teach First to
develop top talent for the future. Put simply,
if you can engage, manage and stimulate a
class of under-performing teenagers, you can
handle pretty well any situation in business.
How it works
Teach First recruits high-calibre graduates
from all disciplines for two years to train and
qualify as teachers. Initially you will attend
six weeks of intensive education training
at one of the UK's leading teacher-training
institutions. Then you will be assigned to a
school in the East Midlands, London, North
West, West Midlands or Yorkshire, depending
on its needs and your subject background.
Parallel to your teaching experience, you will
also participate in the Teach First Leadership
Development Programme. This will further
develop your leadership skills and provide
you with valuable contacts, coaching and
internship opportunities and business and
entrepreneurial training. And, as a Teach
First Ambassador, you will continue to
benefit from engagement with the Teach First
network of supporters and alumni long after
you complete the programme.
Teach First is a uniquely demanding option
- after just six weeks you'll be delivering
real lessons to real students - but it is also
uniquely satisfying. Few other options offer
the same degree of genuine responsibility
so early. And rarely, if ever, will you have
the opportunity to make such a direct and
important difference.
Teach First is your chance to join in, and to
stand out. When it offers so much, the real
question is why wouldn't you Teach First?
