• Communicate regularly with parents and guardians about student performance, behaviour, and development.
• Participate in school-wide activities, staff meetings, and professional development sessions focused on CBC implementation.
• Keep accurate records of attendance, grades, and observational notes to support continuous learner evaluation.
