The role

This is not a delivery role. You are responsible for how students respond to challenge, effort, and themselves. A critical part of this role is developing students’ mindset. Not through surface-level encouragement—you really need to “see” the children. You do this through transparent expectations, consistency, and how you intentionally respond in real moments.
