Pre-requisite: SURV0117 TAST0100 (2 credits) Roles and Responsibilities This course will focus on the duties and responsibilities of the teacher assistant within the school setting. This course focuses on the skills and attitudes needed by paraprofessionals to effectively support children and teachers in diverse educational environments. Students will examine professional ethics, procedural guidelines, and their own educational beliefs. Emphasis will be placed on developing an understanding of the role of the teacher assistant which includes developing a personal philosophy of education; learning to create a positive and stimulating learning environment; developing an awareness and sensitivity to cultural diversity; learning to implement individual educational program plans under teacher supervision; and developing the necessary skills to provide the flexibility needed in the teacher assistant role. TAST0102 (3 credits) Effectively Managing Student Behaviour in Educational Settings Children learn best when their self-esteem is healthy and the educational expectations are clear. This course will focus on developing an understanding of the classroom as a dynamic learning environment in which the teacher assistant is an essential part; a philosophy of discipline that forms a basis for dealing effectively with children experiencing behavioural difficulties; and strategies and practical approaches for classroom management. Methods of pupil supervision; proactive approaches to discipline with an emphasis on problems solving and effective interventions; strategies for dealing with inappropriate confrontational behaviour in a productive life enhancing way; and observation and documentation of student actions in behavioural terms will also be included.

Course emphasis is on providing a variety of practical strategies that can be transferred to classrooms. TAST0106 (3 credits) Math Development and Instructional Strategies Through a blend of theory and practice, this course provides an overview of the Canadian Western Protocol Math curriculum. Particular attention will be paid to ways in which the teacher assistant may support effective implementation of this program by adapting curricula to meet the learning styles and needs of individual children. Course emphasis is on providing a variety of practical strategies that can be transferred to classrooms. TAST0108 (4 credits) Working with Students with Exceptionalities - Level I Inclusion has lead to the full integration of children with exceptionalities into many schools. This, in turn, has created a greater need for individuals with special training. This course examines the philosophy and educational concepts associated with inclusion. Students will have opportunity to develop in-depth knowledge of strategies and interventions in the field of special education, and examine the use and application of Assistive Technology. The course will also focus on the effects of medications on behaviour and learning, as well as the recognition and appropriate responses to many common health issues within inclusive classrooms and early learning environments. TAST0109 (1 credit) Practicum I The practicum experience provides the opportunity for students to meld theory with practice and refine their skills as teacher assistants. Through facilitated group discussion and participation, students will also have the opportunity to link the classroom learning with fieldrelated experiences and issues. Students with experience in the classroom may apply for advanced placement for this practicum. TAST0118 (4 credits) Working with Students with Exceptionalities - Level II Inclusion of children with special needs into many regular classrooms has created the need for special training of teacher assistants and early childhood educators. This second exceptionalities course will expand on concepts, skills, and strategies addressed in level 1. Teaching/learning strategies and interventions, assistive technology, etiology, along with the effects of medications on behaviour and learning will be presented. TAST0119 (2 credits) Practicum II This second practicum allows students the opportunity to experience the full range of responsibilities associated with the complex role of the teacher assistant within a supervised educational setting. Through facilitated group discussion and participation, the students will also have the opportunity to link the classroom learning with field-related experiences and issues. This practicum is mandatory. Pre-requisites: Successful completion of all Teacher Assistant program courses 98 For more information call toll-free 1-866-652-3456
