Teach First OFFICIAL Application / Assessment Centre thread

To all you re-applicants for 25th - Good Luck you can do it!! I was rejected for my rubbish lesson last year and got an offer this year. Will keep everything crossed for you

Hey laura! Can I ask what it was that made your lesson your downfall? I was mainly rejected for my interview skills so don't want to fail on the lesson this time haha! Congratulations for getting through!!! Must feel so amazing

Hey! I have a similar experience to you reject/BM/25th! Good luck! Catch you for pint after if you fancy!

Hey guys! I'm also in a similar position, got rejected for English last year so applying again this year My A/C is also on the 25th so will see you there! I'm just preparing my lesson plan right now... have you found this year's lesson title is harder than last year? Good luck!! xxx

Oh brilliant I'll see you both tomorrow, I'll be the blonde girl in the grey dress with a nametag saying 'Sophie' :P And yes, I definitely found this year's lesson harder - particularly as for both you had to find the text first and work from there! I'm doing the history lesson instead. At least we all know what to expect this year. A much-needed pint afterwards could be a great shout btw!

Hi,

I had my AC on the 19th July and haven't heard back yet. Was wondering if anyone was on the same day and has heard either way! x

Hi all,
I am just completing my application form now and am really stumped by the resilience question. The only really good example I can think of is when I was ill during year 10 and had to spend time in hospital and miss time off school. As far as skills I developed from it goes I'm not really sure, I've always been a hard worker and was in top sets so while it wasn't pleasant being ill I didn't struggle to catch up again. Also this was quite a long time ago now (I was 14/15 then and am now 23). I'm not even sure if this is the sort of thing that the answer is looking for :


Does anyone have any thoughts about this lol?? Would illness be a good example? Especially as it didn't set me back too much, or should I stay away from personal stuff? Sorry for the massive ramble, this question has been going around my head for about a week now

I have a question that's off topic...

I have passed the Assessment Centre and am in contact with a Graduate Contact in the West Midlands office. I was just wondering whether I should expect to be based in the West Midlands?

Has anyone been through the whole process and been in touch with a Graduate Contact who was in say the North East, but ended up being placed in London? Or does your Graduate Contact's location reflect where your placement will be?

Thanks for any answers in advance.

Hey, I got a offer today for 2014 entry, to do history. I was the blonde guy in the blue suit.

I attended that AC last Thursday and got an offer on the Friday for Primary. I've not received my SKA yet - anyone else in the same boat?

I got an offer on Tuesday too yayyyy

A bit worried about the SKA though, really stumped by the 16+ qualifications question, just have no idea what it means...

Got my SKA yesterday, got an offer on Tuesday.

When I called and queried it I was told it entirely depends on which regional provider it comes from and the delay with mine was because they were heavily involved with the SI. So I guess the Op's may be coming from a different Uni. Good Luck with it anyway, I'm submitting mine today!!
