Padua teachers support students to connect by knowing their students and building quality relationships that support student engagement and learning confidence. They ensure that students’ cultural and social backgrounds, needs and abilities are respected in the classroom. Padua teachers also incorporate social and emotional learning to support the growth of a self-regulated learner.
