The best piece of advice I could offer is to use the other participants within your cohort as much as possible. Everyone who does the programme is super motivated, and if you’re having a bad day and you need a pick-me-up, then just talk to some other people and you’ll be back on your way within a few hours. Equally the other teachers in your school are a fantastic resource of advice and guidance and they’re people who have been doing it for years, so don’t be afraid to learn from other people.

Recruitment & Selection

Are you the kind of person who could make an impact in one of Teach First’s partner schools? You’ll need bright ideas, gritty determination, awesome communication skills and the confidence to stand up in front of 30 pupils, engage their attention, deflect their jibes and lead them on a journey. It’s a big ask.

At the heart of Teach First is a unique two-year Leadership Development Programme. Challenging, stimulating and practical, it has been designed to develop your leadership skills, giving you the ability to adapt to new or changing situation and inspire enthusiasm and ambition in the classroom.

Ambassador offering

As a Teach First Ambassador you will be part of a network like no other – a group of influential leaders in education, policy, business and the third sector, united by shared experience, benefiting from its ongoing support and contributing to its mission.
