dragonsanddaffodils Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 And they put an article on Rhondda Cynon Taff council website too! (The link has a picture as well!) http://www.rhondda-cynon-taff.gov.uk/stell...dDocName=026905 Inspirational Tutor Nominated for Award - Taf Inspiring sugar craft tutor, Rhianydd Easton, 37 from Pontypridd, has been nominated for an award in the prestigious Niace Inspire Adult Learners Awards 2009. The annual awards, which are organised by NIACE Dysgu Cymru, advocates of adult learning in Wales, aim to celebrate the commitment, knowledge and communication skills that inspire adult learners every day across Wales. Rhianydd who teaches classes throughout Rhondda Cynon Taf was nominated by the Council’s Adult Education Team as a result of her hard work and dedication. Lynnette El-Khatib, Head of Adult Learning at Rhondda Cynon Taf Council, said; “Rhianydd is our Sugar craft Adult Education Tutor with 4 years experience. It was agreed in July that Rhianydd would run 3 courses per week, but due to high demand whilst enrolling the Council agreed to put on another class. “Two of these courses are new ventures for Rhianydd – Chocolate Craft that is proving very popular. Rhianydd is an extremely well liked tutor who motivates her group to perform to a high standard; she is encouraging, friendly, very informative and sensitive towards her students. “Rhianydd owns her own shop Dragons and Daffodils where she makes beautiful cakes, she has given some of her students the opportunity to work alongside her in her shop in order to further enhance their newly acquired skills. “Rhianydd was runner-up for “Celebration Cake Maker of the year 2007†at the British Baking Industry Awards and also demonstrates for the British Sugar craft guild and “Squires Kitchenâ€, teaching at International exhibitions, and writing articles for their magazine on “How toâ€. “Whilst doing all these things Rhianydd finds time to inspire and motivate her students and encourages them to make the most out of their learning experience her past students make special cakes for their own families, some students have sold their cakes and one of her students has had multiple features in a magazine. “Rhianydd is a wonderful advert for Adult Education and makes the learning journey both pleasurable for the students and the Adult Education team that work along side her.†Councillor Eudine Hanagan, Cabinet Member for Education, Skills and Lifelong Learning, said: “Adult Education provides a vital service to the County Borough, helping students to access education, up-skill themselves and reach their full potential, this is especially important in the current economic climate. The fact that these tutors have been nominated for this prestigious award shows just how high the quality of the provision we provide within Rhondda Cynon Taf is. I would like to congratulate all the tutors on their nominations, which are a sign of their inspiration to learners.†For more information and advice on adult learning and the courses available in Rhondda Cynon Taf or about the Inspire awards contact the Council’s Adult Education Team on 01443 741 332.
