I have been an Education Support worker for the past 20 years. I have worked with some amazing people over these past 20 years. Over these years I have developed many skills to help provide students with a safe and inclusive environment to achieve their full potential as well as providing support to teachers and administrative staff.
Create and maintain a positive cohesive environment for the students to feel safe and to perform at their best. This is through positive praise, positive language and tone of voice.
Build relationships with students and families in a professional manner to help nurture connections.
Support teachers to provide individual learning plans to help support students with diverse learning needs, including students with disabilities and cultural diversity needs.
Monitor student behaviour and implement positive behaviour support strategies to create a supportive learning environment.
Participate in Education Support meetings with teachers and Occupational Therapists to discuss students outcomes and develop strategies for improvement.
