Program Overview

This eight-month full-time or six-semester part-time certificate program prepares students for career opportunities in the education system working alongside teachers supporting students with disabilities as Education Assistants. The program combines a range of courses that provide a balance between a strong theoretical foundation and practical experiences so students graduate well prepared to begin their career.

In the public school system, a movement away from segregated classrooms toward inclusive classrooms has resulted in dramatic changes in the ways students with disabilities are educated. In this framework, there is a need to provide Education Assistants with the theoretical and practical knowledge and experience that meets the individual needs of all children. An important goal of the Education Assistant Program is to provide Langara College students with opportunities to become competent and employable educators.

The Role of the Education Assistant
Successful Education Assistants have an aptitude for working with adults and with children, are patient, interested in education and in learning, consider schools to be interesting and exciting places, and enjoy working in a world of rapidly changing ideas. The Education Assistant performs a variety of paraprofessional duties in the public school system:

  • Works under the direction of teachers, administrators, or other professionals;
  • Assists in the development and implementation of individualized or group communication skills, behavioural support, learning support, life-skills development, and work experience;
  • Assists in the modification and adaptation of curriculum to meet the individual learning needs of students;
  • Attends to and provides personal assistance to students who require assistance with toileting, positioning, diapering, mobility, feeding, grooming, and dressing;
  • Transfers and assists students moving to/from wheelchairs, desks, and work areas;
  • Supervises students in a variety of community-based activities;
  • Attends and participates in school-based team meetings (and other meetings) as required by the support teachers or school administrators;
