Posting Summary:

Do you LOVE HELPING STUDENTS learn and grow towards being all they can be? Pivot Point's Community Classrooms offer a full-day educational experience in our staffed Learning Centres.

As an alternative to large classrooms in public or private schools, our small group learning approach within non-traditional community settings creates opportunities for students to thrive.

We support students with ASD and other Diverse Abilities within a safe and nurturing environment, where most class sizes range from 3 to 12 students with multiple staff (i.e., one Lead Instructor and potentially multiple Educational Behavioural Interventionist).

Are YOU comfortable with more challenging behaviours? Some of our students can exhibit extreme anger, intense language, and aggressive behaviours.

Staying calm and safe, and knowing how to deescalate tough situations is essential.

Can YOU assist students requiring intensive support in the development of gross and fine motor skills by physical assistance and manipulations and reinforce social and personal skills to ensure the successful inclusion of students by demonstration? We're looking for passionate and caring stable staff.

Can YOU assist students with appropriate forms of output (reading, writing, speech, drawing, movement, test taking, etc.) related to their comprehension of curriculum as based on student needs and/or Inclusion and Intervention Plans?

Can YOU work under the guidance and support of a Lead Instructor? Observe and discuss the progress of students with the Lead Instructor and other supportive professional staff to support personal program planning meetings? Keep anecdotal records of student's daily activities when requested.

Conduct oneself in a manner appropriate to a professional learning environment. Deal tactfully with staff, students, parents, and the public?
