Further Information
From summer 2017, trainees on the Leadership Development Programme - who we refer to as participants - will be working towards achieving a Post Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) which, for the first time, fully integrates teacher training with leadership development throughout the two years, and is worth double the credits of a PGCE.
The new programme will increase Teach First’s impact by equipping participants with the skills to help end educational inequality. Through their experience, the Participant Development Lead is developing people into ambassadors and lifelong leaders. Our new programme draws on global best practice and builds on our outstanding Ofsted rating to deliver a world class programme.
In our new programme, we are enhancing and simplifying the support provided to participants. Each shall now receive a school-based mentor, a subject specialist university tutor and a Teach First Participant Development Lead.
The Participant Development Lead is a unique new role, which is central to the participant experience and a cornerstone of the new programme. You will work in a community of expert practitioners and provide exceptional support to participants throughout their two year training programme. You will ensure they complete the programme, achieve profound pupil impact in their classrooms, and develop into lifelong leaders working towards the Teach First vision where no child’s educational success is limited by their socio-economic background.
You will ensure participants are equipped with all the skills required for success when they enter the classroom and enable strong pupil outcomes throughout their two year commitment. You will coach and mentor participants to ensure they make rapid and sustained progress, as well as brokering specialist support from a variety of sources, where necessary. You will also support participants to build their own networks, thus enabling them to support their own teaching and leadership development, resilience and wellbeing. All of this work will support our participants to engage as the next generation of leaders in the movement to end educational inequality as ambassadors (alumni) of the Teach First Programme.
