You create good conditions for learning by using adapted methods and an inclusive pedagogy that aligns with the curriculum's intentions regarding harmonious development, participation, and exploratory learning.

Together with your colleagues, you are responsible for ensuring that students receive the pedagogical and social support they need to develop and reach their goals. Your role may occasionally include tasks that otherwise fall under student assistants, to support students in daily and social situations where needed.
