Leadership for schools Challenging secondary schools often face a number of significant obstacles such as high pupil mobility, multiple spoken languages and families suffering the effects of deprivation. By introducing additional excellent teachers into these schools, Teach First hopes to help overcome these obstacles, and provide a better education for thousands of pupils who lack the opportunities that many others take for granted. Teach First participants are expected to not only make a difference in the classroom, but also to their school community. Through the leadership developement component of programme and by using their own initiative, participants are encouraged to channel  resources to where they are most needed.  Using  creativity and drive, participants are expected to raise the aspirations to the highest levels and unleash new opportunities that will measureably benefit individual pupil performance, while enhancing the quality of life experienced by all in their school communities.		Leadership for life The UK needs more leaders, in every sector. It needs leaders who are capable, resourceful and can draw upon a range of life experiences; who have endured tough situations and learnt from them, and know when to follow the crowd and when to lead it. With this in mind, Teach First unashamedly expects many of its participants to become the future Ministers, CEOs, and serial entrepreneurs of our age. We also need leaders in the social sector who are dedicated to addressing the imbalances and injustices that cause poverty and have a particular concern for improving education for pupils in challenging schools. At Teach First we believe that our participants will have gained unique insights from their experiences in schools that will help them make key decisions and influence those around them when shaping policy, business plans and in their own career choices. We aim to support our ambassadors in the new ventures they embark upon, helping them access the resources, skills, talent and networks required to make a difference throughout their lives.
