Teach First is a unique two-year opportunity
for you to be different and to achieve
something special. Your energy, intelligence
and creativity can transform the futures of
students in challenging schools around the
UK. At the same time it's an opportunity to
dramatically enhance your own career
potential and to make a tangible difference to
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. In fact, you
wouldn't even be reading this if you weren't
about to graduate into a world of 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 the lives of
young people in schools around the country,
Teach First will help you to maximise your
own potential, discover new skills and build
on those you already have. High-profile
recruiters from all sectors recognise that the
skills and strategies developed in the
classroom are highly relevant and applicable
to management careers. 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 underperforming
teenagers, you can handle pretty
well any situation in any 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 London, the North West or the
Midlands, depending on its needs and your
subject background. At the end of year one
you will achieve Qualified Teacher Status – a
qualification that means you can return to the
teaching profession in the future if you wish.
Parallel to your teaching experience you will
also participate in the Teach First leadership
programme – designed and delivered in
collaboration with our business supporters
and education partners. 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.
There is no question that Teach First is an
extremely demanding option. After just six
weeks you'll be delivering real lessons to real
students. But if Teach First is uniquely
challenging, 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.
