Written practicum with York region school board education assistant job?

Answer 1

I just wrote it. They'll give you a classroom scenario. The one I got read as follows:

Sandra is in grade 6. She is an a classroom with students with behavioural issues. She enjoys interacting with other students at recess, as she attends recess with the entire school population, but often gets into altercations with other students as her language is inappropriate and she often takes away the items they're playing with. Today Sandra refused to go in after the bell rang and became increasingly verbally and physically abusive with you as you attempted to get her inside. (Not written this way word for word but you get the basic gist of it).

1.

a) How would you respond?

b) How would you respond if the situation escalated?

c) what would your follow up be?

2. What would you write in Sandra's agenda to her parents?

I recommend going on the YRDSB website and looking through their policy and procedures page to get ideas on the right way to answer.

Good luck, hope that helps.
