The purpose of this Teach First study is to help inform and examine the components of a Teach First programme. It identifies promising approaches and resources which might contribute and considers how some of this might be sequenced across a two-year period. It also explores various ways in which success in achieving the intended outcomes might be evaluated.
Preparing the publication involved interviews and consultations with a range of experts from education, psychology and related fields. This insight was combined with a short review of literature examining the barriers and ways forward for supporting teachers and school leaders to make the best use of research evidence.
The report identifies:
• the knowledge requirements needed to make sense of research
• important resources for new teachers and how this content might be sequenced across the two-year programme
• a process of applying evidence to practice which supports both leadership and teaching development
• how Teach First might approach the evaluation of this aspect of the programme.
In listing research, EdCentral makes no judgment or recommendation as to its quality, validity or methodology and none should be inferred. Through peer ratings left by education practitioners, EdCentral’s aim is to support the development of a repository of shared knowledge and experience.
