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. They are trained to help students in many areas and work with individuals, small groups and also with whole classrooms.
