Wording as adopted by the AGM:
In order to ensure that adequate resources are allocated to a school, the caseload for a learning support teacher shall be based on the following weighting formula:
Category A (Physically dependent) and Category B (Deafblind): 4 points
Category C (Moderate to profound intellectual disability), Category D (Physical disability / Chronic health impairment), Category E (Visual impairment), Category F (Deaf or hard of hearing), Category G (Autism spectrum disorder), or Category H (Intensive behaviour interventions/ Serious mental illness): 2 points
Category K (Mild intellectual disability), Category Q (Learning disability), or Category R (Moderate behavior support / Mental illness): 1 point
Category P (Gifted): 0.5 points
Students with no designation but who are seen for ongoing support: 0.5 points
Students being assessed: 0.5 points
The total caseload for any one(1) full-time equivalent non-enrolling teacher during any one term for the school year shall not exceed a headcount of thirty(30) students or a weighting of thirty-three(33) points, as per weighting formula above. For those learning specialist teachers who are also enrolling teachers or have other teaching roles, their caseload should be reduced according to the percentage that they are teaching. For example, if a learning specialist teacher is teaching two courses out fo a seven course teaching load, the caseload should be reduced by 28%.
