Description

In this updated comprehensive guide, the authors skilfully address the critical role of educational assistants (EAs) in fostering inclusive classrooms within Canada’s diverse society. This resource provides practical background information, insights, and strategies for EAs to effectively support students of all abilities and identities. It begins by emphasizing the importance of understanding our diverse population, with a focus on children and their development. Each chapter discusses elements important to success in an EA role, such as exceptionalities in children or communication and documentation skills. This work also looks at the ethical responsibilities of EAs, including advocating for students’ rights and well-being, and offers opportunities for self-reflection and discussion at the end of each chapter. This expanded second edition includes recent research and five new chapters, which reinforces the book’s applicability to today’s inclusive classrooms.
