You believe that school is preparation for life, more than simply the next level of school. You are passionate about Elementary School understanding the key role you play in enabling student growth and development, preparing students for success in their future. Just as in life outside the classroom, you believe that students with different backgrounds, gender identities, and learning abilities benefit from working together.

You understand team dynamics and work well with teams of other educators and with administrators. You are an excellent communicator and see parents as your partners in their child's education. As a lifelong learner you are energized by new ideas, professional development and sharing your learning with your colleagues. You are solution-oriented and like to contribute to a positive, enjoyable working environment.

The status quo is never good enough for you.

You are independent and confident in the classroom.

On an on-going basis, you will participate in regular meetings with the classroom teacher, Learning Support teacher, parents, and other professionals regarding the student’s learning and progress, as appropriate. In addition, you will provide input for the development of an individual plan for the student and maintain awareness of their goals and targets.

You maintain confidentiality of information relating to the school and the student.

You encourage learning through discovery, selecting age appropriate projects for the students so they can become hands-on learners. Whether in the classroom, the library, learning music or P.E., participating in athletics, or getting involved in gardening, your students are always learning.
