Roles and Responsibilities of the Education Team

What is expected of me?

We at EBUS believe that education is a team endeavor.

Elementary students (K-6) are each assigned to a classroom teacher who delivers and assesses curricular aspects of the education plan. In addition, special education students are assigned a case manager who co-ordinates IEP development and progress reporting.

Middle Year students (Grades 7-9) enroll in coursework offered by a core group of teachers who deliver and assess curricular aspects of the education plan. If necessary, this coursework is adapted to meet the needs of diverse students. In addition to coursework teachers and a case manager, special education students are assigned an academic advisor (homeroom teacher).

Students in senior secondary Grades 10-12 choose the courses that best fit their programming needs. In addition to coursework teachers and a case manager, special education students are assigned an academic advisor (homeroom teacher). A student’s learning team collaborates around course selection and specific adaptations/modifications to support student success with the high school exit pathway that works for him/her.

*Please note: If your learner is unable to complete course work that is age-appropriate, consultation with EBUS Special Education staff may result in development of an individualized life skills program.
