On World Teachers' Day we are celebrating all of our amazing tutors and support staff at Cambridge Regional College, who do more than just teach their subject.
We run a regular series of inspiring Teacher Takeaway Top Tips via our Staff News and this one from Helen Hall, Lecturer in Hair and Media Make Up, is perfect to show how teachers go the extra mile.
"Supporting learners during their journey at Cambridge Regional College is paramount to their success.
... "Take a minute to consider every learner’s experience each morning around their journey to college.
"Are they dropping off siblings or own children at school, did they get stuck in traffic, do they have a parent at home who is unwell?
"We can never assume that a learner is always at fault for lateness or poor behaviour; often there is an explanation that can go towards understanding why poor behaviour is present.
"It is our duty of care to take time to talk to the learners to find out their needs.
"If a learner requires support, we will liaise with the appropriate teams to ensure they receive the appropriate support."
Happy World Teachers' Day! http://ow.ly/fxbl50wBtdc
