Overview

Key features

In the public school system, a movement away from segregated classrooms toward inclusive classrooms has resulted in dramatic changes in the way students with disabilities are educated. It is an important goal of the Langara College's Education Assistant Program to provide students with opportunities to become competent and employable paraprofessionals in these dynamic environments.

Bonnie Cheng, graduate of Langara's Education Assistant program, became one of this year’s finalists for the Premier’s Award of Excellence in Education, which recognizes exceptional teachers, support staff, and administrators throughout the province.
