Hey all! I have been accepted onto the Teach First programme and am due to start at a school in East of England in September. I am really looking forward to it and I am not disillusioned in thinking that it will be easy. To my understanding there are assignments to be done as well as working and I'm fine with that. I used to study full time at uni, work part time and also volunteer so that doesn't bother me.
I have read nothing but negatives for TF and to be honest everyone so far on this journey has been amazing. I got my feedback as well and it was exactly what I thought it would be. It just feels like teaching is a calling and not just a job so I am going into it with an open mind.
Has anyone had a TF experience and maybe specifically in East of England? If not, would anyone be willing to chat about their TF experience. Please don't just bombard with me with negatives. I'd like an objectively honest experience of something, while yes it may include negatives but there must have been something good about the journey. It can't be all that bad if they've been going for 20+ years.
Also I am listening now to Running the Room as I have been told it's a really good book to read! If anyone else has any recommendations for pedagogical approaches, what the best thing is for a first year teacher to focus on I would love that. To my understanding it's about building consistency, building routines and starting your year with a clear expectation from the pupils but also from how you want to manage the classroom. Any advice is welcomed :)
