Childcare lecturer wins national ‘best teacher’ award
Rhian Evans received the accolade at a special awards ceremony at Soughton Hall, Flintshire, where the winners were announced by Cabinet Secretary for Education, Lynne Neagle MS.
It is the first time that the teaching awards have been opened up to include further education colleges as well as schools.
Rhian was nominated by her Childcare students, who described her in their submission as an ‘angel on their shoulder’ and spoke of her ability to make the ‘impossible seem possible’, no matter the personal challenges they may face.
As well as her teaching commitments, Rhian is one of the College’s bilingual champions, supporting colleagues and students to grow their confidence in the Welsh language.
