Educational Assistants (EA) and Child and Youth Workers (CYW) in the WRDSB
The impressive work of these dedicated staff members can be seen in WRDSB classrooms and schools every day. We appreciate the many ways they strive to engage, encourage and provide individualized support for students in their learning journeys. They help to ensure all WRDSB students are able to achieve their full potential.
WRDSB EAs and CYWs play an important role in creating learning environments that are:
