Clarity in the roles of school staff is paramount in effectively supporting classroom teachers with instructional challenges. Support teachers provide targeted assistance by collaborating and helping develop instructional strategies. Psychologists and therapists contribute essential insights into students' behavioural and emotional needs, ensuring that instructional strategies are well-aligned with individual student profiles. Principals and vice principals play a critical leadership role by fostering a supportive environment, facilitating professional learning, and ensuring that resources are allocated appropriately. Teacher peers offer invaluable collegial support through collaborative planning, offering feedback and sharing best practices.

When these roles are clearly defined, coordination is enhanced, and the impact of each professional’s expertise is maximized. This collective effort promotes a cohesive and responsive school environment that better addresses diverse student needs. Clarity in roles ensures an atmosphere of mutual support and professional growth.
