Overview
The Forest Preschool (FPS) Inclusion Assistant works one-on-one to support the behavioral, academic, social, and emotional needs of an identified FPS student and to support their inclusion and positive participation in child-centered play and learning with nature. The FPS Inclusion Assistant promotes best practices in inclusive and adaptive education in a nature-based setting. The FPS Inclusion Assistant is responsible for a regular teaching schedule during the hours this student is in attendance plus some additional hours for planning and team collaboration, providing ongoing student support throughout the school year, and working collaboratively with the FPS teaching team to support student safety and student behavior. The FPS Inclusion Assistant helps nurture student growth, and supports the FPS Director in family communication, FPS special events, and FPS files and documentation.
About North Branch Nature Center
North Branch Nature Center connects people with environmental education, natural history, and community science. More than 10,000 people visit NBNC to be in touch with the sights, sounds, and sensations of the natural world.
Our 28-acre preserve of forest and fields is nestled in a gentle bend of the North Branch of the Winooski River, just two miles from downtown Montpelier. NBNC is the delight in the eyes of children as they watch fireflies in a field. NBNC is a group of naturalists exploring the secrets of warblers and willows. And it's a quiet place to walk or ski, swim or sit, or simply relax beside the river. There is much to explore. Please join us.
