Supported Education. Supported education is a collaborative process among teachers, parents, paraprofessionals and administrators. This process involves frequent planning and problem‐solving to effectively meet the needs of a student with supported education. (For purposes of this section, a student with supported education is a student who is eligible for and receives special education services as set forth in an IEP and/or age appropriately placed in the least restrictive environment.) All core team members as defined above, who provide direct services to students with supported education will be invited to meetings scheduled to resolve issues and discuss provided services. If scheduling prohibits the paraprofessional from attending a meeting, the Case Manager will provide directly to the paraprofessional the notes from the meeting with those identified students within 24 hours. If a problem cannot be resolved through this process, the following procedure will be followed:
Step 1: Problem‐solving meetings may include members of the core team, the child study team and the building administrator.
Step 2: Problem‐solving meetings may include members from the above teams as well as appropriate central office administration and Organization representation upon member request. Step 3: The Superintendent or Organization will appoint a problem‐solving team of individuals who have been in a supported education situation to resolve the issue collaboratively. This provision can only be grieved and arbitrated to the extent that the grievance affects the employees covered by this contract. Any application of this provision which affects the parent, student or anyone other than the employee shall not be subject to the grievance and arbitration provisions of this contract.

Supported Education. Our Supported Education team provide educational and progression opportunities for those with learning disabilities and will work with a range of partners to ensure that learners with profound and complex needs continue to participate in programmes which enhance their knowledge, skills and employment prospects. The College currently works closely with the Social Work Departments of both Dundee City and Angus Councils, alongside a range of other partner organisations such as Gowrie Care and Enable to ensure that individual support is available prior to a learner embarking on a programme. The team have developed an innovative Social and Ethical Enterprise model of delivery, giving the students a real life business experience and establishing good employability skills.
