In addition, you order supplies and design programs for the classroom under the direction of the teacher. You also provide lesson plans in written format as well as organize and supervise recreational activities, behavioral plans, and incentive programs for students. When there's no school, you perform a variety of residential responsibilities or supervise work sites for students in the community.

You help supervise other teacher assistants in both educational and residential settings. Each day, you also ensure the time-out log is completed. As assigned, you attend staffing and department in-service to stay informed about important information regarding the school and your students. Teaching is what you were meant to do, and it brings you great satisfaction to know you serve as such a positive influence in the lives of your students!
