Certificate in Education Assistant

Program Overview

The Education Assistant (EA) certificate prepares learners to work at the para-professional level in the field of education. Education Assistants work under the supervision of classroom or resource teachers to support learners with exceptionalities and challenges in elementary and secondary education settings. The program builds the knowledge and skills learners need to work as part of an educational team, supporting the integration and education of learners with exceptionalities and challenges into a regular school classroom.

The Education Assistant program at CMTN consists of Indigenized curriculum. The program explores the definition of colonization and the effects of colonization on Indigenous education realities in Canada and B.C. The program also focuses on traditional Indigenous parenting models, and the effects of colonialism on Indigenous parenting and parent/family/community relationships with the school. Pathways to build trusting, meaningful relationships with Indigenous students, their families and communities are core parts of the Coast Mountain College Education Assistant curriculum.
