Description
The WCDSB & Lutherwood Learning Program provides a therapeutic classroom setting for children, aged 5 to 12, residing in Waterloo Region or Wellington County. There are four classrooms with a classroom teacher and Child & Youth Care Worker in each classroom. Each classroom has a maximum of 10 students. Students are enrolled in the program for approximately 10 months with a focus on preparing the child to return to his/her community school. A team of professionals work with the child and family to address the issues obstructing the child from working to their full potential at school. Students often struggle with self-regulation skills which at times may result in inappropriate or aggressive behaviour. There is a team of treatment staff available to support students if behaviour escalates. It is located in Waterloo and the hours are 8:50 a.m. - 3:20 p.m.
First consideration will be given to Certified Occasional Teachers on the WCDSB Daily Occasional Teacher List. Second consideration will then be given to external certified teachers.
External Certified teachers, who are successful in obtaining a Long-Term Occasional teaching assignment with WCDSB, will also be placed on the WCDSB's Daily Occasional Teacher List.
Requirement: Junior & Intermediate & Special Education Part 1 qualifications are preferred. Consideration will be given to those who hold Special Education Part 1 & one of Primary, Junior, or Intermediate qualifications.
