Educational Assistant

About the Role

The Educational Assistant position is designed to provide essential support to the instructional program within assigned educational settings. This role serves as a vital partner to teachers, ensuring a safe and productive learning environment for all students.

You will be responsible for assisting in the supervision and instruction of students, observing and documenting their progress, and implementing specific plans for instruction. The position requires a collaborative approach, working closely with teachers, administrators, parents, and other stakeholders to coordinate activities and resolve any issues that arise.

Day in the Life

Your day will be dynamic, shifting between direct student support and operational assistance. You will assist teachers in setting up and conducting class activities and projects, and may oversee or conduct classes during the temporary absence of the lead teacher. A significant portion of your time will be dedicated to providing tutoring or one-on-one assistance to students in basic educational skills, including reading, math, science, and word study.

Beyond the classroom, you will play a key role in student safety and community. This includes monitoring behavior in common areas such as the cafeteria, auditorium, halls, and bus zones, as well as organizing groups during arrival and departure. You may also chaperone students on field trips occurring during the regular school day.

Additionally, you will support the broader school environment by preparing instructional materials, setting up classroom technology, creating bulletin boards and displays, and performing necessary clerical tasks. You will attend various meetings, including staff meetings, parent meetings, and IEP-team meetings, to stay informed and contribute to the educational team's goals.
