Elaine Cassar

Learning Support Educator 2
Marsascala

Summary

I am a student-focused Learning Support Educator with extensive experience working with children with diverse educational needs across various age groups. Over the past several years, I have developed a proven track record of enhancing student abilities through encouragement, patience, and perseverance. I am adept at designing and implementing individualized education plans (IEPs), applying effective teaching strategies, and utilizing behaviour management methods to foster student growth and confidence.


Through my work, I have gained deeper and more refined experience in promoting student independence and development by closely monitoring progress and adapting support to meet each learner’s unique needs. This has enabled me to become well-versed in managing challenging behaviours while maintaining a positive, structured, and productive learning environment.


I am also a strong collaborator, with a solid history of working alongside teachers, therapists, and support staff to ensure consistent, inclusive, and effective educational outcomes.
