Key Responsibilities:

  • Assist the teacher in identifying the comprehensive needs of a classroom of residents in collaboration with other interdisciplinary team members.
  • Encourage individuals to form new relationships and engage in community activities, potentially partnering with a supported individual to facilitate these connections.
  • Follow the teacher's guidance to deliver the educational aspects of the overall care, education, and training program, including conducting directed learning activities and providing essential physical care to students as required.
  • Participate in the Individualized Program or Educational Planning (IPP/IEP) process to ensure that each student's needs and preferences are addressed by the interdisciplinary team at least once a year, with documented educational plans and outcomes.
  • Collaborate closely with team members to ensure the seamless coordination and integration of services.
  • Communicate with students' family members or advocates as necessary.
  • Support team members in functioning effectively and achieving consensus in decision-making.
  • Provide guidance and supervision to volunteers, assisting in the planning and implementation of their orientation.
  • Engage in and promote a culture of continuous quality improvement within the School Program, emphasizing client focus and staff empowerment.
  • Anticipate the evolving needs of students, adjusting services accordingly, and contribute to the ongoing development of the School in line with the Centre's leadership and vision.
