Here's why Kerry was nominated by her tutor:

"Kerry demonstrates so much professionalism in her role as a secondary school teaching assistant. This is evident from the reports her employer gives and also in the direct observations I have carried out of her practice. She consistently goes above and beyond in her support for the students she works with; taking on additional duties related to safeguarding and also pastoral support. When she works with students in their lessons, she uses many teaching strategies such as effective questioning and scaffolding.

Kerry differentiates effectively, responding in the moment to what her students need. In her college studies, she demonstrates the same dedication and commitment; working hard to complete additional learning in her own time, in order to complete her apprenticeship as quickly as possible (she started after the other learners in her cohort)."
