Description

Teaching Assistants provide instructional support services to students under the direct supervision of a highly qualified teacher. This means: (a) the teacher must plan instructional activities that the teaching assistant carries out; (b) the teacher must evaluate the achievement of the students with whom the teaching assistant is working; (c) the teaching assistant must work in close and frequent physical proximity to the teacher; and (d) the supervising teacher must be highly qualified. Teaching Assistants provide direct instructional support to students as they develop social, communication and academic skills. Teaching Assistants assist in devising and implementing a motivational and behavior management system. Teaching Assistants ensure that any intervention/strategies are conveyed to the teacher while assisting in the implementation of those intervention strategies.

With a deep commitment to equity, academic excellence, and student empowerment, we offer a range of specialized programs, including bilingual education, alternative learning pathways, and innovative college and career readiness initiatives.
