Role Performs and/or supervises tasks that are carried out in accordance with guidelines, accepted practice and school policy.

Input into identifying training needs and development of education support class staff within the work area or educational program becomes an important feature at range 2.
Specialised support to achieve specific outcomes is a feature of range 2. Typically this will involve accountability for a single function, (e.g. ensuring data is properly maintained) or the operation of a work area (e.g. managing the day to day operation of a school office) under the direction of the principal or another senior manager.

Within an educational program assists teachers with the coordination of the support function, such as directing/organising the work of other support staff or providing a specialist support role. 
Undertakes medical intervention support tasks or other specialised student/teacher support roles that require specific training that must be updated from time to time.

Routine technical support in libraries, science and information technology laboratories would be typical examples.
