By joining Teach First, you will not only become part of a remarkable story that is changing the face of education and helping thousands of pupils, but you will mark yourself out as a cut above the rest. Teach First participants are unique in a number of ways:

Rigorous yet creative thinkers
Every participant at Teach First has been selected for their ability to solve problems with the rigour expected of top graduates in any leading organisation, and all have demonstrated high levels of academic success. Yet Teach First participants, because of the nature of the school environment, must be highly adaptable, and able to find practical solutions and creative approaches in an environment that can often be more dynamic than a typical corporate situation. Studies have shown that excellent teachers make more key decisions in a day than the average CEO.

Inspirational communicators
No matter how brilliant you are, you will not get far as a leader without the ability to communicate to a wide range of audiences. The Teach First programme provides the framework which enables you to do this effectively. Often participants find the inspirational experience of working in challenging schools enables them to overcome the barriers that can exist between generations and office hierarchies.

Skilful networkers
Intelligence and good communication skills can set you apart from the crowd. Yet as a leader, you can still falter without good relationships and networks. Teach First provides rich opportunities to meet and network with leaders, mentors, and experts from a wide variety of sectors. If you are looking for an insider perspective from leading employers, and want to gain the skills and practice required to develop your own networks inside and outside of education - Teach First.
