Teach First!

Teach First's mission is to address educational disadvantage by transforming exceptional graduates into effective, inspirational teachers and leaders in all fields...

The charity Teach First is a movement founded to address the problem of educational disadvantage and modeled on the 'Teach for America' approach in the United States.
Founded in 2002, Teach First has already had a major impact in schools across the country helping to change the lives of thousands of young people. Teach First harnesses the energy, enthusiasm and drive of exceptional graduates to provide inspirational teaching in schools in challenging circumstances across England. The scheme came to Leeds last year and has some wonderful young people working in schools across the city.
