Description
About Us
The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board is the largest school board in Eastern Ontario and offers students and parents a world of choice for learning. Our nearly 150 schools offer a wide range of programs to promote learning excellence and meet the individual needs of students, parents, and the community at large. Our schools are teaching communities where principals, vice-principals, teachers and support staff nurture student well-being and challenge students to achieve their best.
We are seeking creative, dynamic, and committed teachers to join our team at Clifford Bowey Public School.
Students attending Clifford Bowey Public School come to us through the specialized program placement referral process. All students have Developmental Disabilities, and many also have Autism. Our dedicated, experienced staff of teachers and educational assistants work in 13 homeroom teams of 1 teacher and 3 EAs for every 8 students. At Clifford Bowey, we foster a safe and caring learning environment where students build independence by developing communication, social, emotional, physical, and self-regulation skills. In addition to these curricular areas, all students are working on functional math and literacy goals, often through play based learning. Our students are aged 4 - 21 and their individualized goals are developed in consultation with family, through their unique Individual Education Plan (IEP). Ultimately, promoting independence, building quality of life experiences, and preparing students and families for life after 21, are at the core of what we do at Clifford Bowey.
Ideal candidates will support the fulfillment of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Boards (OCDSB) Strategic Plan to enhance the quality of education in the school, and the District, by creating a positive and inclusive school climate, learning and workplace environment. Candidates will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, a demonstrated ability to work collaboratively and respectfully, with a human rights and equity perspective, to foster student success, achievement and well-being.
