role model

Since you are always in an educational envirotment, you must be a good role model to others in order to not only gain their respect but to also be able to teach them to act professional when they enter their occupations once they've graduated.

Staying current re school policies and procedures

A school is only as good as it's structure. The employees should all be cognizant of standing policy as well as new developments. We can never stop updating and reviewing the matters that make the school, professinal and compliant. We should always stand at the ready to inform students and staff alike that we are aware of all the workings in the school and the varied functions of the various depts. We can never learn or update too much.
