What is the Social Learning Program?
The Social Learning Classroom
Our Students
Students in our program are here because they have a history of engaging in challenging behaviours that have significantly impeded their academic and social success in mainstream classrooms. Each student comes to us through a referral to Special Programs. Our classroom usually has a maximum of 10 students in the Grade 4 -6 range.
Our Educational Team
As its core, 1 teacher/behaviour specialist and 2 educational assistants work directly in the Social Learning Program.
As teacher and behaviour specialist, I have worked for ten years in Special Education at different grade levels including secondary school. As teacher, my qualifications include a Bachelor of Education with a focus in Middle Year and a Masters of Education in Special Education. Additionally I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst which requires yearly professional development and recertification. I complete functional behaviour assessments and write Positive Behaviour Support Plans as well as safety plans. I am qualified to teach Direct Instruction programs and am experienced in differentiating instruction for student needs.
Our Educational Assistants have years of experience working with students with learning and behaviour challenges. They have received Mandt and CPI training for deescalating and safely controlling aggressive and upset students. We work closely together to determine the best instructional and behavioural approaches for a student in both our classroom and the school at large. They are superb at supporting our students in social settings and arranging for play opportunities.
Our team also extends through the school. Specifically, we work closely with our school administrators; counselors; regular classroom teachers and child and youth care worker. Additionally, we work regularly with our District Special Education staff (psychologist, speech and language pathologist, etc).
