For CJ and Sharad, the essence of education lies in collaboration. As they reflect on their experiences within the CLF community, they emphasise the value of working together as a team of educators, practitioners, and leaders. “It’s just all about collaboration,” CJ remarks. “People working together. And it’s brilliant for developing us as teachers and also sharing resources.” This spirit of collaboration not only keeps educators fresh and up-to-date but also enriches the learning experience for students.
At the core of education is the power of relationships. Sharad emphasises the transformative impact that strong relationships can have on students’ lives. “I think one of the biggest things that you can do as a teacher… is build those relationships,” they explain. “It makes such a massive difference to students’ lives because they know there’s someone that they can relate to.”
Continuous improvement is a cornerstone of CLF’s educational philosophy. CJ highlights the importance of never settling for complacency and always striving to do better. “Keep having an understanding that we’re never perfect,” they note. “What can we do better? And I think that’s a brilliant thing about the CLF. We always strive to improve.” This commitment to excellence drives innovation, fosters growth, and ensures that CLF remains at the forefront of educational excellence.
At CLF, diversity is celebrated, and inclusivity is championed. Sharad reflects on the sense of equality and opportunity that defines the CLF community. “The CLF is really amazing in the sense of equality and equality for all,” they affirm. “Everyone has just got that level playing field where they can achieve and excel.” This commitment to equality ensures that every individual, regardless of background or circumstance, has the opportunity to thrive within the CLF community.
