Role

An education support class position at this range will perform tasks that are carried out in accordance with guidelines, accepted practice, and school policy under supervision and direction. This may include coordination of other education support class staff within the work area or educational program.

An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students but must not include duties of a teacher as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic) or its successor. Supervision of students can be required individually or in groups up to 4 in controlled circumstances and where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.

Certification and/or qualifications of up to three years can be required at this level (noting that Registered Nurse is not included at this level, the first level for which is Level 1 range 3).

A role at this range may include:

• Specific support tasks to achieve outcomes. Typically, this will involve accountability for a single function, (e.g. ensuring data is properly maintained) or the co-ordination of a work area under the direction of the principal or a manager.
• Assisting teachers, within an educational program, by undertaking specific support tasks or the coordination of the support function.
• Supervised health and wellbeing support tasks, medical intervention support tasks, or other specialised student/teacher support roles (e.g. enrolled nurses performing the role as described in schedule 3). These roles require specific qualifications and/or training, including roles where further training must be undertaken from time to time. The role is for a specific purpose, for which there will be direct accountability as opposed to support roles that are carried out by a range of staff performing routine tasks under direction.
• Technical tasks that require a sound knowledge of basic technical and/or scientific principles that are used to develop and adapt work methods and make judgements where there are clear guidelines and limited options. Routine technical support in libraries, science, and information technology would be typical examples.

An education support class position at this range commencing at the base will initially be limited to undertaking routine tasks that are carried out under close supervision and direction. Work that carries some degree of independence will generally involve a limited number of tasks performed on a regular basis where priorities are clear, procedures are well established, and direction is readily available. Subject to any specific qualification and/or training requirement, an education support class employee employed in this range may be progressively required to undertake coordination, specialised student/teacher support tasks, or technical tasks as experience in the role is gained.

Responsibilities

• Attending classes as per timetable
• Assist students on an individual or group basis in specific learning areas.
• Prepare basic curriculum support resources.
• Assist in the preparation of student resources and equipment.
• Set up and put away equipment and materials in support of teaching programs.
• Assisting students to be organised for class and in their approach to study.
• Assist with the communication between students and teachers, particularly the interpretation of instructions by re-enforcing new concepts, reading instructions or going over explanations.
• Observing how students are doing with a task and note difficulties they encounter to provide feedback to the teacher
• Communicating to the class teacher if the student is finding a task difficult and needs further modification of the task or developing examples for the students to use as a guide.
• Observe students and draw the attention of the teacher to them where necessary
• Participate in the monitoring and evaluation of programs and evaluation of individual student involvement and achievement.
• Advising the teacher and or Year Level Leader (YLL) if facing challenges with their behaviour in the classroom or in the yard respectively.
• Contributing notes to the OneDrive files on progress, for record-keeping and handover.
• Provide basic physical and emotional care for students.
• Assist with toileting, meals, lifting, and administration of medication to students requiring special care.
• Attend Sick Bay if required
• Assist with the supervision of pupils in playgrounds, at camps, on excursions, in sporting activities, therapy activities and life skills.
• Identifying professional development needs and participate in relevant activities.
