They assist both the school and families with language issues, orientations and transitions, interpreting, providing for some basic needs and in other areas as well. Resource Teachers – work collaboratively with the rest of the school team and also other support services to ensure that each child receives the educational program they require for a successful school experience. (eg. Individual Education Plans, Behavioral Plans, Adaptation Plans) English as an Additional Language Staff - help students learning English adapt to a new language and acquire new skills in and out of the classroom. They work with small groups or individuals rather than with an entire class. Guidance Counsellors – work with children who need support with social and emotional skills.
