The work in this position is “over and above” regular instruction in the classroom; while the position may work alongside a classroom teacher, the delivery of curriculum should supplement core instruction and not replace it.

Embedded within this position are cultural supports, including but not limited to the following: relationship building with community, relationship building with families, creating opportunities to share knowledge, history and diversity of Aboriginal BC within the school building.

The Academic Success Teacher will support Aboriginal EA positions and Aboriginal Youth and Family Worker Liaison positions within the school and will be a “team lead” for guiding work and Ministry required ABED data tracking. The Academic Success Teacher leads school based ABED team meetings, if applicable.

The Academic Success Teacher will work as part of the larger Aboriginal Education team in SD8 and will attend ABED District staff meetings to share reflections, grow strengths, and stay current on district initiatives.
