Hi Lorina
Can I please ask what exactly would an offsite ECT's role play? Would it mainly be programming if they are not on site in a teaching role, just curious to see if this is an avenue that may suit us in the future.
Thank you Callie

Hi Callie,

I will look into this for you to clarify, however, in my opinion, the offsite ECT would probably be an "advisor" to the educators working within the ECT room. In regards to programming, they can lead the program with the room educators by being in contact with them. The off-site ECT can go through documentation written by the educators (emailed), provide ideas on experiences to be followed up or extended upon, collaborate and plan with the educators in the room for teaching strategies and intentional teaching plans, support educators etc. So, I would assume that Off-site ECT will need to always be in contact (daily) with all the educators in the room and probably need to visit the centre often to work effectively with the team...

Hope this helps!
