Preparing students for Ontario curriculum expectations and OSSD requirements.

Creating lesson plans, assessments, rubrics, and student progress documentation.
Maintaining proper records for student learning, assessment evidence, and report card comments.
Understanding or being willing to learn Ontario high school expectations, including OSSD, course codes, credit requirements, AOL/ASL/ELL-related supports, and assessment practices.
Communicating professionally with administration, students, and parents when needed.
Helping build a strong culture of literacy, confidence, discipline, adab, and respectful communication.
