If you are a teacher of English, how do you know you are doing it well? Explicitly teaching academic literacy provides a level playing field for less privileged pupils, with language being inseparable from content, improving pupils’ literacy will make them better at your subject.

How does multi-sensory learning of texts, using storytelling and reading, help children build the language patterns that they need to write effectively? What is the role of shared and guided writing and focussed feedback? Find out in this session.

This session showcases the work of participants and ambassadors in leadership positions, offering an insight into what they’ve tried, their struggles and their achievements and how these can be applied to your context.

THE TEACH FIRST EXHIBITION Thursday 30 July 11.30 - 14.30 first direct Arena Our exhibition brings together over 80 organisations from schools, business, government and the third sector to allow you space to explore opportunities to lead and drive the achievement of the Fair Education Impact Goals with other organisations in our community.

THIS EVENT HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE... ...if you’re going to be teaching in September, it’s a great opportunity to learn how other organisations can support you in the classroom with free services and resources for you and your school. If you’re thinking about what role will best enable you to have an impact beyond the Leadership Development Programme, are interested in volunteering or want to learn more about Summer Project opportunities, many of these organisations will be keen to answer your questions and explain why your experience leading a classroom will be valuable to them. We have delivered this exhibition to support you to think about your journey as a leader, whether it’s inside or outside the classroom or the education sector. You’ve probably heard about how many of the ambassador community use their experience in the classroom to drive change across the system, and you’ve probably met some of these ambassadors already at Summer Institute. You’ll meet more at the Exhibition, from social entrepreneurs to those working at our corporate supporters. This is an opportunity for you to also talk to these organisations about how they support Teach First to address educational inequality and how you can progress in your own career by doing the same. We hope the Exhibition provides you with inspiration and opportunities to think about your role in tackling the large and complex issue of educational inequality, and find opportunities to connect what you are doing now with the wide network of Teach First and our community.
