Service Teacher Assistant and Aide Careers, Jobs, and Training Information Career and Job Highlights for Teacher Assitants and Aides Roughly four in every ten teacher assistants are part time employees. Scholastic requirements vary from a high school diploma to some college training Particularly in demand will be those who are bilingual or have experience in special education Teaching Assitant and Aide Career Overview Teacher assistants help classroom teachers complete instructional and secretarial tasks, which allow teachers to spend more time preparing lessons and teaching. Using the teacher’s lesson plans, teacher assistants help students learn material by tutoring and assisting them one-on-one. Additional classroom duties teacher assistants have are to help prepare supplies for lessons, set up equipment, and record grades. Outside of the classroom teacher assistants may be responsible for supervising students on field trips, in the hallways, as they load busses to and from school, or in the cafeteria. Commonly called teacher aides or instructional aids, some teacher assistants refer to themselves as paraeducators or paraprofessionals. Some teacher assistants, such as playground and lunchroom attendants, carry out only non-instructional or clerical duties. However, it is more common for teacher assistants to perform a mixture of both clerical and instructional tasks. With the guidance and direction of teachers, these assistants usually offer academic support to students. They may work with children in small groups or individually, helping students learn through such activities as studying or clarifying class notes, listening to them read, or assisting them to locate information for reports. Teacher assistants often specialize in a certain subject area, for example Spanish or science, at the secondary level. Frequently teacher assistants oversee special projects and arrange exhibits or equipment, such as for a science demonstration. Computer laboratories are often run by teacher assistants who help students using computers and education software programs.

"Co-teaching is defined as two or more professionals delivering substantive instruction to a group of students with diverse learning needs. This approach increases instructional options, improves educational programs, reduces stigmatization for students, and provides support to the professionals involved. Co-teaching is an appropriate service delivery approach for students with disabilities who can benefit from general education curriculum if given appropriate supports. Teachers and related service professionals who are flexible and have good judgment are likely to be successful in this role. Co-teachers need preparation, administrative support, and opportunities to nurture their collaborative relationships. Co-teaching programs should be planned and implemented systematically. Deliberate and ongoing communication among everyone involved is essential." (From Focus on Exceptional Children. Vol. 28 (3), 1995. Cook and Friend, authors. Love Publishing Co., PO Box 22353, 9101 East Kenyon Avenue, Suite 220, Denver, CO 80222)

Ralph Waldo Emerson TEAMING Melanie has created a fantastic accommodations checklist to use in the general education classroom. She thought it would be a great way to satisfy that uncomfortable topic of accommodations in the regular classroom by giving the teacher a way of reporting that the grade on the report card was received by providing specific accommodations. Print a copy of the Accommodations Checklist to use in the classroom. Inclusion is changing the rules of the game so that everyone can play and everyone can win. If you treat special needs children as equals, it may not be necessary to treat them differently. Include respect for differences, "We're More Alike Than Different," as part of your regular curriculum. Not only does this foster respect for individual learning styles, physical and emotional differences, but it also fosters respect for diversity.

NASET Special Education Teacher-to-Teacher Forum Teacher to Teacher Cultivating Relationships Between Mainstream and Special Education Teachers PDA View Full Version : welcome! Elizabeth 03-21-2005, 02:11 PM Dear Colleagues, Thank you for your interest in this forum: Cultivating Relationships Between Mainstream and Special Education Teachers. In this thread, we will work together to find real solutions to one of the most pertinent issues in teaching today – How can mainstream and special educators truly CO-operate as CO-workers? In my own practice, I have found that the roles and responsibilities these equally important professionals have in relation to the students they share are often poorly defined. Frequently, one doesn’t understand or accommodate the other’s needs and motivations. Moreover, opportunities to discuss and make decisions about these students collaboratively are few and far between during a school day which is often all too short. These blurred boundaries and gaps in communication can result in a disjointed approach to exceptional students who need coherence above all else, as well as complete disconnect, or even conflict, among teachers. I was a mainstream teacher for 2 years. At the time, I did not feel confident or well-prepared to teach students with special needs. Since their learning support took place outside my classroom, I felt disconnected (and hence, admittedly, disinterested) in what was going on. I truly didn’t realize how much I and especially the students could have benefited if I’d been in closer contact with the SpEd teachers. I’ve now been in special education for 3 years, and I wonder if some of the mainstream teachers in my school are feeling the same way I once did. These are some of the problem areas I’ve encountered which I hope can be discussed in this forum. Funnily enough, most of these stumbling blocks stem more from tradition than policy, the old “we’ve-always-done-it-this-way” syndrome.

By incorporating these suggestions, teachers can begin to establish a differentiated and inclusive co-teaching environment. To assist students with diverse needs within the general education classroom, one possible service delivery model is co-teaching (also known as collaborative teaching, team teaching, or cooperative teaching). The idea of a general education and special education teacher working collaboratively on a coequal status to meet the unique needs of all students in a general education classroom is often quite appealing to teachers. The process of moving from a program that primarily uses a pullout model to one of co-teaching, however, can be a daunting process; and educators admit confusion and frustration at figuring out how to begin.

Specific Responsibilities... November 26, 2004 Message from the Presidents of BCTF and CUPE B.C. Dear Colleagues and Education Partners: We are very pleased and proud to introduce to you this joint position paper entitled Roles and Responsibilities of Teachers and Teacher Assistants It is the result of much effort and determination over many years by a number of individuals serving on the joint committee, as well as groups such as the CUPE B.C. Special Education Task Force and the BCTF Special Education Association. This paper represents our ability to work together to reach consensus and to move forward to strengthen and enhance public education for all children in British Columbia. It articulates our basic assumption that the roles of both teachers and teacher assistants are integral to ensuring the success of students with special needs. Further it makes clear that BCTF and CUPE B.C. have a fundamental role to play in supporting the development of good working relationships at the school level. This paper should assist collegial teams at the local level to continue to develop working relationships and to address conflicts that may arise. The primary focus of this paper is the roles and responsibilities of those who work most closely with students - teachers and teacher assistants. However, the critical role of the Ministry of Education and school districts in establishing the necessary conditions for students with special needs to have successful, positive and productive learning experiences in the public schools of British Columbia cannot be over-emphasized.

Physical Development Teaching Children with Physical Disabilities "Remember that play is the main method of learning for all age groups and abilities" Print Article by Sarah Herbert, Head of Centre, Hounslow Heath Infants School The term physically disabled covers a vast variety of different conditions and different levels of need. Some children may be affected in one or two limbs, others may be affected in all limbs. Sometimes children may have brain damage causing the physical disability that can also affect learning, vision, hearing and behaviour. Many causes of physical disability do not cause brain damage, for example spinal injury, and rheumatoid arthritis. The most common cause of disability that I come across is cerebral palsy, and this is extremely variable in the way in which it affects any individual, depending on the part of the brain affected. With this variety of need in mind the following general principles may be useful. General Principles A physically disabled child will need much more opportunity to play and experience the world than other children since they may not have the incidental learning opportunities of the able bodied child (making mud pies, climbing the garden wall etc). Physical disability can make independent play much more difficult, so an older/more physically able 'play assistant' would be useful. Just holding a toy so that it can be investigated would be the simplest support, some children may benefit from specialist play centres with multisensory rooms or 'soft play'.

36. Bright Futures Technical Report - Part 4 The problems with teacher preparation to meet the needs of students with special education teachers are expected to work with general educators http://www.cec.sped.org/spotlight/cond/bf_tech4.html

Bright Futures Technical Report - Part 4 Summary of Findings Discussion Administrator vs. Teacher Perspectives Personnel Preparation The problems with teacher preparation to meet the needs of students with exceptionalities are not limited to issues related to general education. The special educators report few additional licenses in content areas, and limited additional support for their role as collaborative teachers. The increased emphasis on curriculum access and success for students with exceptionalities means that special educators will have to strengthen their content knowledge to support appropriate differentiation strategies. The growing trend toward inclusion means that special education teachers also need new and different skills to work collegially with general education teachers. Special education teachers also report being dissatisfied with professional development opportunities in which to learn the new skills needed to fulfill changing role expectations. Recruitment and Retention of Special Education Teachers Changes and Challenges Perhaps the most telling message from the survey is that the roles for teachers who work with students with exceptionalities are changing and little is being done systemically to address these changes. This is true for both general and special educators.

A Student's Guide to Careers in the Helping Professions Melissa J. Himelein University of North Carolina at Asheville Table of Contents SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER JOB DESCRIPTION Overview Special education (SE) teachers instruct public school students (K-12) with physical, cognitive, and emotional/behavioral disabilities. They adapt and develop educational materials to meet the unique needs of their students, striving to ensure that disabled students reach their full learning potential. SE teachers tend to emphasize a particular type of disability in their training; the specific categories of disability differ across states (categories are defined by state departments of education), but generally include mental retardation/mental handicaps, learning disabilities, emotional/behavioral disorders, and physical disabilities. SE classes are usually designed for students at a given grade level who have the same type of disability. Special education resource teachers function as consultants within a school system. They advise general education teachers about means of modifying teaching methods for work with disabled children in their classrooms. They may lead a school "resource room" where disabled general education students come for specialized instruction.
