Workshop 4: How to Recruit the Best? 20 th January 2014

James Darley Director of Graduate Recruitment Teach First, UK

Session Objectives Is there a magic wand solution to improve the image of teacher education and the teaching profession itself? How can we improve candidate selection for teacher education programmes and entry conditions for new teachers?

In the UK, the link between low family income and poor educational attainment is greater than in almost any other developed country.

Over 50% of all males and 70% of all females in prison achieved no qualifications at school or college Labour Force Survey 2011 The odds against a child eligible for free school meals at a state secondary being admitted to Oxbridge are 2000:1……for a privately educated child it is 20:1 Sutton Trust 2010 Nearly 50% of children claiming free school meals achieve no GCSE passes above a D grade Casen and Kingdon, 2007

What is Teach First? OUR VISION: that no child’s educational success should be limited by their socio-economic background. OUR MISSION: to end inequality in education by building a community of exceptional leaders who create change within classrooms, schools, and across society.

Our impact Independent Institute of Education Report 2013: Departments taking on Teach First participants were 10% of a GCSE grade worse before joining Teach First, but by years two and three they were outperforming their neighbouring departments who did not join Teach First (by about 15% of a GCSE grade). "Our Teach First colleagues have been some of the most committed, enthusiastic, positive, caring and supportive staff it has ever been my privilege to work with." Marian Catterall, Principal, Manchester Creative and Media Academy Part of Teach for All – 34 countries including Teach First Deutschland

Is there a magic wand solution to improve the image of teacher education and the teaching profession itself?

In 2003:in 2013: Oxbridge graduates going into challenging schools = 6200 Teach First number of hires = 1861,261 Times Top 100 Graduate Employers = n/a3 % of new teachers in challenging secondary schools = 2%16% ` 10 Achievements 2003 to 2013 Industry Since 2003 nominated for 45 industry awards, winning 9 of these including over the past 2 years: Best Employer Brand Best Assessment and Selection Most Popular Graduate Recruiter Public Sector (for third year running) Rising Star for Jodie Bamforth (‘11) In 2013 Teach First was responsible for 44% of ALL Public Sector jobs in the Times Top 100 Graduate Employers

How did we do it? Strategy – Sell the problem not the profession – Focus on small number of top universities at the start – Deliver ‘world-class’ graduate recruitment – Invest in building relationships with key stakeholders Brand – Need to be comparable and then more attractive than the top employment brands in the country – Highest quality marketing, materials and activity – Position mutual benefit of the programme (do it for the kids/do it for you) – Build profile and appeal Process – Human recruitment, investing in a team of experts (not superficial high visibility events) – Effective & efficient attraction & selection – Early ID & Undergraduate Programmes (Brand managers, Insight & Societies) Research – Know your market and competition as well, if not better than everyone else – Deliver sophisticated objectives and metrics to spot issues early

How can we improve candidate selection for teacher education programmes and entry conditions for new teachers?

Rigorous recruitment and selection process: Evidence of strong academic qualifications Demonstrate key competencies and fit with the Teach First vision: – Humility, Respect and Empathy – Interaction – Knowledge (incl. mission) – Leadership – Planning and Organising – Problem Solving – Resilience – Self-Evaluation Pass professional skills tests in numeracy and literacy Pass subject knowledge audit School Observation week Complete Summer Institute & PGCE in line with the Teach First values: COMMITMENT COLLABORATION EXCELLENCE INTEGRITY LEADERSHIP Selection Overview

Participant Preparation Work Regional Allocation Summer Institute Assessment Centre Offer Acceptance Registration & Application Screening Pass Submit Fail QTS Skills Test Reference Subject Knowledge Audit Candidate Journey

2014 Season To meet this target we will need to: Screen 8,680 applications twice Invite around 4,400 candidates to an Assessment Centre (max capacity = 5,000) Run 170 ACs Make about 2,170 offers from AC Give feedback to approx 1,800 candidates rejected from AC Ensure our processes are consistent and professional Communicate with candidates in a timely and professional manner building on the reputation created on campus  1,550 graduates to start the 2014 programme (Inclusive of 435 deferred from last year)  600 graduate to start the 2015 programme

Application Form: Screened independently by two members of the team Holistic approach taken: – Academics (ITT & Teach First) – Positions of Responsibility – Competency questions Assessors trained and continually checked for consistency Evidence/marking sheets used - decision made (no automatic cut off) Conflict requires conversation to discuss evidence Successful applications move on to Assessment Centre Selection Overview

London Assessment Centre Suite

Assessment Centre: Competency Based Interview: – Personal history, work experience, attitudes to working with children – Teach First competencies, motivation and ‘fit’ to Teach First vision and 2 year programme Case Study: – School based group discussion (30 mins) Case Study Self-Evaluation Sample Teaching Lesson: – Candidates deliver pre-prepared 7 minute lesson on chosen National Curriculum subject – One week before AC candidates given topic titles Sample Teaching Lesson Self-Evaluation Offer & References Selection Overview

Type of Analysis: Competency benchmarking: – How is each competency scoring – historically and from diversity point of view Consistency of assessors Feedback from candidates: – Level of challenge, logistics, comfort and impression of charity Efficiency/effectiveness of process & assessment centre capacity Improvements: Evolution of competencies based on pupil impact Situational Judgment Test: – Candidates respond to situations they might encounter in school Automated feedback reports Selection Overview
