The purpose of the Teaching & Learning Partners is to work in collaborative partnerships to achieve educational outcomes for all students by developing a whole school commitment to inclusive practices and a shared responsibility for student achievement. Each role in the Teaching and Learning Partners plays an important part in the effective development of educational programs based on:
The diverse needs of students.
The centrality of the classroom teacher as the coordinator of students’ teaching and learning needs.
A knowledge of teaching and learning principles and practices that enable students to access the curriculum.
Authentic consultation with teachers, students, parents, BCEO personnel, outside agencies and relevant others about the impact of the student’s ability to access the curriculum and achieve learning outcomes.
