A* Star Teachers was created and is run by teachers and headteachers. Some of us were originally recruited from overseas and we understand the challenges our teachers face.
Interviewing, profiling and informing our teachers
All of our teachers have a face-to-face interviews where they are professionally profiled. Our overseas teachers will have a well qualified local professional or we send well qualified heads and inspectors overseas to carry out interviews.
At interview we ensure our teachers expectations are well informed and we provide teachers with useful written materials.
Regular information evenings are run in the UK and overseas
