• Create simple, goal-focused Learning Profiles for students requiring extra support.  
• Monitor timelines and follow-up requirements related to reporting periods, documentation updates, and parent communication.  

Specialized Program & Safety Planning

• Support the design and review of student programming that reflects identified learning, behavioural, social-emotional, communication, sensory, and safety needs.  
• Provide frameworks and lead the process of collaboratively creating individualized safety, supervision, regulation, and behavior plans.  
• Collaborate with staff to identify foreseeable risks and maintain consistent protocols for students with enhanced needs related to elopement risk, medical concerns, or emotional regulation.  
• Support proactive planning for transitions, risk reduction, and student success across classroom and non-classroom settings.  

Collaboration, Coaching & Mentorship

• Provide instructional coaching, co-teaching, and research on effective adaptations for all students with IEPs on your caseload.  
• Suggest interventions to classroom teachers and support them in educational planning.  
• Provide guidance, resources, and mentorship to staff supporting Pathways students, including Learning Support staff, classroom teachers, and EAs.  
• Model inclusive techniques and common language, encouraging a trauma-informed, relationship-based, and student-centred approach.  
• Provide observational and performance data for administrative evaluations of EAs.  

Communication, Liaison & Reporting

• Serve as a key point of contact between the support team, families, and school administration regarding student programming and case management matters.  
• Facilitate and lead IEP meetings, and co-facilitate School-Based Team (SBT) meetings with administration.
