Position Overview

Working within a multidisciplinary team, the Behaviour Analyst partners with school-based staff, families, district personnel, and community agencies to develop practical, evidence - informed strategies that strengthen student participation, learning, and well-being. This

Sustainable change is achieved through assessment-informed intervention, collaborative problem solving, and building the capacity of school teams to implement effective supports across settings.

The successful candidate is skilled at leveraging behavioural principles to support student success across settings, which can look like creating practical classroom strategies, coaching educators in the implementation of contextually appropriate plans, and developing function-based supports that are effective, sustainable, and responsive to the needs of students and school teams. This position also contributes to professional learning across the district by facilitating workshops, mentoring staff, and building the capacity of educators to implement evidence-based practices that promote student learning, participation, and well-being.
