Why Words Matter
A CTD supported intern is on a bespoke work experience opportunity at Bradford Christian School. He was introduced to the pupils the same way any staff member would be introduced.
🌟WHY WORDS MATTER 🌟
One of our supported interns is currently on his work experience placement at Bradford Christian School as a Teaching Assistant.
He is there to learn valuable skills to hopefully become a learning support assistant. Those of us that know any LSA's know how valuable they are.
Recently he was introduced by a teacher to his new class in the way any member of staff would be introduced, and with the appropriate formalities included:
"Hello everyone, this is our new member of staff. Please welcome Mr. Smith"
This is such an empowering use of words because it moves our SI from a learner to a mentor and really validates the work he's providing.
Thank you, Bradford Christian School for partnering with us. We know John* absolutely adores his job with you!
