2026-27 Expression of Interest - Specialty Teaching Contracts – LEARNING CENTRE

Details:

HRCE is inviting qualified Learning Centre Teachers interested in Learning Centre opportunities for the 2026-27 school year to apply to this expression of interest.

Learning Centre teachers support students who require programming and additional supports for Personal & Medical Care, Behaviour Management & Personal Safety. The Learning Centre teacher, in collaboration with administrators, the Teaching Support Team, parents/guardian and students (when appropriate) develop individualized outcomes for students who require this level of programming. The Learning Centre teacher works with children individually and in small groups within the Learning Centre classroom to learn and practice new skills as identified through the program planning process. An important part of the Learning Centre teacher role includes scheduling Educational Program Assistants (EPAs) to maximize supports to students, modelling and coaching effective programming for EPAs both in the Learning Centre and in the regular classroom setting. Learning Centre teachers, in conjunction with the Student Planning Team and the school principal, liaise with regional and external specialists to implement programming for children on caseload.

Contracts are with the Halifax Regional Centre for Education. If offered a contract, recipients will be advised in the Spring of the applicable staffing process and timelines to secure a Learning Centre position within one of our 136 schools for September 2026.
