Joining the Teach For Australia movement brings you into a close community of like minded individuals who share the same ambitious goals as you do.
By the time you finish your initial six-week intensive you’ll have formed close bonds and friendships with your fellow Associates, some of which will last a lifetime.
You’ll likely be in a school and region with other Associates, getting together to plan, reflect and socialise.
You’ll be in regular contact with Teach For Australia, and build deep relationships with your Training and Leadership Advisor, University Clinical Specialist and in-school mentor.
Farther afield, you’ll find that you’re now part of a global network spanning 18 countries, called Teach For All. Like Teach For Australia, each of these affiliate organisations enlists their most promising future leaders to expand educational opportunity.
