We are looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic Teacher Assistant to support classroom teachers in delivering high-quality education and fostering a positive learning environment. The ideal candidate will assist in preparing instructional materials, supervising students, and providing individualized attention to help students achieve academic success. This role requires strong communication skills, patience, and a passion for working with children.
As a Teacher Assistant, you will work closely with lead teachers to implement lesson plans, manage classroom behavior, and support students with special needs or learning difficulties. You may also be responsible for grading assignments, organizing classroom supplies, and helping to maintain a clean and safe learning environment. Flexibility and the ability to work collaboratively with other staff members are essential.
In addition to academic support, Teacher Assistants often play a key role in the social and emotional development of students. You will be expected to model appropriate behavior, encourage positive interactions among students, and provide guidance during group activities. Your presence in the classroom will help ensure that all students receive the attention and support they need to thrive.
This position is ideal for individuals who are pursuing a career in education or who have a strong interest in child development. Previous experience working with children in an educational setting is highly desirable, but not required.
