We are pleased to announce that the Teach First website www.teachfirst.org.uk based on the Activedition CMS has now been redeveloped. Teach First is an independent charity whose mission is to address educational disadvantage by transforming exceptional graduates into effective, inspirational teachers and leaders in all fields. In the 2010 Times Top 100 Graduate Employers, Teach First were ranked 7th.
Teach First’s new website is also complemented by 2 other websites; for ParticipantNet http://participantnet.teachfirst.org.uk and AmbassadorNet http://ambassadornet.teachfirst.org.uk.
The secure ParticipantNet presence is a social networking platform for new graduate teachers who are progressing through the Teach First Leadership Development Programme which combines working, training and qualifying as a teacher with leadership development training, coaching and mentoring. At the end of a participant's second year of teaching, they graduate to become a Teach First ambassador, joining a growing movement of Teach First graduates working, with the support of Teach First, to bring about long-term change in education. Beyond the two-year Leadership Development Programme, Teach First works to empower, equip and mobilise all ambassadors with the skills, tools and networks they need to support the Teach First mission, by driving forward sustainable change in education from both inside and outside the classroom and the AmbassadorNet website represents a supporting resource and collaborative platform.
Simon Arnot, C2’s Project Manager for the Teach First project commented:
“The Teach First initiative represents a significant web development project that is underpinned by the Activedition CMS. It also leverages off of best in class social media applications and integrates with their Salesforce CRM to push and pull events and bookings based on complex hierarchical event rules.
In addition Teach First can present opportunities registered within their CRM and OpenSSO authentication for sign-on has also been used. We look forward to continuing to work with Teach First.”
