Posting Details: Semester 2 External Contract - 3 Periods Right Turn/eLearning Outreach
Reporting to the Principal of Adult and Continuing Education, the teachers will be responsible for the instructional delivery and daily student support for the duration of the program. Teachers are responsible for record keeping and final reporting for their assigned course.
Right Turn/eLearning
Job Description:
Right Turn and eLearning Outreach teachers support at-risk students at various sites in the Simcoe County District School Board:
The Right Turn students serviced by the program may be on long-term suspension (for 6 or more school days) or expelled students.
Right Turn teachers work with the student’s home school staff (administration, teachers, student success and guidance, SERTs, etc.) to provide an academic and restorative program focused on the student’s individual learning needs to support re-entry and integration in the home school environment. They deliver academics consistent with the student’s home school classroom. This includes supporting the delivery and access to academics provided by the home school teacher(s) along with the development and delivery of learning activities to support the student’s re-entry to their home school. Teachers may also focus on addressing learning gaps in student achievement, or non-academic needs (anger management, drug abuse, or other behavioural issues) that may help the student overcome challenges.
Teachers will communicate with school staff to receive direction and assignments students should be working on, including direction to access online learning formats that teachers have set up for their classes. If a secondary student transitions to Right Turn for a lengthy period, Right Turn teachers will deliver, assess, and evaluate curriculum. They may work collaboratively with classroom teachers where access to an online program has been established, but will continue to assess and evaluate student work.
The eLearning outreach teachers deliver core grade 9 and 10 courses through eLearning as a transitional program to re-engage and support students who are at risk of losing their junior credits. Students at risk of lengthy suspensions or expulsions are a priority but may also include students who for various reasons, have restricted ability to attend regular day school either full or part time. The focus of this flexible, continuous intake program is to support prevention and intervention activities to maximize the student’s opportunities for credit attainment and engaging with a caring adult. Students are referred to the program through Student Success teams at their home schools.
Credit completion will be communicated to the school through the completion of transcript maintenance records signed by the Principal/Vice Principal of the programs recommending a credit be granted.
Teachers will be required to travel to specific Right Turn sites located throughout Simcoe County. Elearning outreach teachers may be required to travel.
