10. The Role of The Tutor You are assigned and supported by a Personal Tutor in a particular tutor group. Your tutor is there to guide you through your time in the Sixth Form, by caring for students, and monitoring progress both academically and socially. Encouraging involvement, commitment, and high standards of work and behaviour are also part of the tutor’s role. In summary, your personal tutor should be proactive in looking after the interests of the “whole student” and the following table outlines how this may be achieved. On a daily basis your personal tutor should: • Set a positive tone for the day during registration period, through creation of a classroom atmosphere which both establishes and maintains healthy student/teacher and student/student relationships. • Encourage and facilitate high standards of work, behaviour and dress code in all – through a belief that each student is an exception, is to be valued and can succeed. • Be aware of issues which may affect your experience of college, such as friendship patterns, family structures, leisure interests, personal targets and aspirations, relationships with other students and staff, and any other social and personal factors relevant to you within and outside of school. • Assist the Sixth Form team by distributing letters/notices as appropriate. • Act as a good role model, being consistent and fair, and acting as a mediator within your group if necessary. • Actively supervise in assemblies or year group gatherings when present. • Ensure relevant college policies, Health & Safety and Fire Drill instructions are explained and upheld. 11. Assemblies Over the course of the year your personal tutor should: • Be the first point of contact to guide and assist with UCAS/apprenticeship/job applications and future development. • Develop a group of tutees who embrace <strong>TTC</strong>3, the sixth form ethos and college spirit. • Promote the highest level of attendance (ensuring students feel accountable for their own attendance) and assist with monitoring official records of attendance and punctuality; where necessary identifying any patterns of, or suspicious, absences. • Engage in positive dialogue to monitor and continually review your progress across the curriculum using available data. • Follow up concerns and issues about your learning and effort when necessary with subject areas and parents, in consultation with the sixth form learning team. • Get to know your individual profile and use this knowledge to benefit appropriate participation in Parents’ Evenings and report writing. • Deliver a purposeful group tutor programme and enable you to fully engage in these activities. • Reinforce the college’s high expectations and focus your mind on achievement through learning. Assemblies are organised for Year 12 and Year 13 students every alternate week. Assemblies are delivered by a member of the Sixth Form leadership team (or in some instances, the Principal or guest speakers), and are an important feature of Sixth Form life. <strong>TTC</strong> Sixth Form assemblies allow for sharing of successes, communication of information more easily and ultimately play a role in ensuring an even more cohesive community. The leadership team strives to make assemblies as interesting and relevant each week as possible however, if you think something deserves a mention, please speak to a member of the Sixth Form team who will ensure you get your say.
