When it comes to the pupils, communicating between each other is important as you will share information on the chid such as the child’s welfare, medical information or even their progress within the classroom. When adults are working effectively together and are working as part of a team, the children will see them as role models and will follow, copy and mimic what they see.

You can also offer help to others, which can help you gain confidence in what you are doing. It may be hard to ask for help, but in the end it benefits everybody.
