This innovative program provides valuable training to educational assistants in our school system. The program focuses on the role of the educational assistant within the learning system and provides a practical understanding of exceptional children and how to help them. Since its inception in 1987, the Educational Assistant Diploma has provided the theoretical and practical knowledge students need to become a confident and effective presence in the classroom. Students have the opportunity to share experiences with other educational assistants and gain a broader view of current practices within the school system. Key topics explored include development, resiliency, language, and behaviour.
Full time students are required to apply for the Criminal Record Check (Vulnerable Sector) and Child Abuse Registry approximately one month prior to the start date of the program to ensure they meet the requirements to participate in the practicum. Students do NOT need to submit these documents to PACE. Students will be advised when and where the documents are to be submitted at the program orientation.
