A teacher aide is someone who helps the teacher in the classroom.A teacher aide may also have three students to work with.When you write your resume for a job describe the duties that you did in the classroomand asked the teachers that you work with  to explain to you what was your duties in their classroom.

I guess I can assume you aren't unionized.  If you are speak to your union rep.  If not I'm sure you could find a lawyer that can help you by looking in the phone book.  Or, maybe you could ask one of the teachers thats been working at the school for a long time if they know of someone you could speak to.

I'm not a teacher, but I went to our school district's web site and found this information for our local schools as well as learning tools, e-learning, policies, procedures & bylaws, info about each of the schools and their programs, and some cool links for school-age children\n\nYou might also try contacting your local board of ed. or attending PTA meetings

This time of year many schools are advertising in local papers or on their web sites for teachers and assistants for the next school year. Do an internet search for schools in your area and check out their web sites. \nPrepare a great resume and good luck!

I would tell it like a story.  What did the teacher do at different times, what did the students do, talk about what the room looked like (were there behavior charts posted, rules, learning centers, etc), how did the teacher handle difficult students, what was their routine, what grade level and type of class was it.  Just make sure that everything is written clearly, use paragraphs and check spelling.  You are reporting on what you saw, so it can't be wrong!  Hope this helps!

I'm not sure exactly who you should go to, but you might try speaking with a local Department of Education Office of Civil Rights (link below).  They handle discrimination cases and that type of thing - if the school is denying your child services that he needs, then I'm pretty sure they can help you with this at no cost to you.  \n\nIf your child hasn't officially been diagnosed as special needs, however, the school is probably not obligated to offer extra services.  In any case, the teacher should be making modifications of her instruction to reach all students no matter what level they are performing at (research the term "differentiated instruction").\n\nOther possibilities (though I don't know much about using services from these entities so I may be wrong) might be a legal aid office or the attorney general's office.  \n\nI would highly recommend documenting every conversation you have had with teachers, administrators, etc., on this subject (you might even considering putting a voice recorder on your telephone, or carrying one with you when you speak in person - in most states this is legal as long as one person participating in the conversation is aware of it, but I'd recommend checking the laws for your state).  Also document the actions they've taken (firing the aide) and all the correspondence they send you (the letter about the teacher's credentials).  Documentation goes a long way in legal proceedings if your situation goes to that extreme - it will probably also give you some leverage at the IEP meeting if someone says something that you can disprove based on your detailed, accurate records. (Be sure to keep your records factual though, don't make assumptions about what you thought you saw or understood).\n\nI would also recommend going above the principal's head to the superintendent and asking to see a copy of the teacher's license/certification.  It should state whether or not the teacher has special ed credentials.\n\nBest of luck to you!

Use specific classes or activities where you use applicable skills (such as: communications, student government, volunteer work, school awards, etc.). That will let them know you even though you don't have experience, you do have the skills to do the job.\n\nReferences also help. You could have a teacher be a reference for you about your work ethic in school.

Ask your school - the office secretary should know, or have records.

Your guidance department will have career profile exams. Of course the best way to tell is by trying things out and volunteering at different jobs. There is also nothing that says you have to only do one job for the rest of your life. My husband is going back to school now to become a teacher because he found out that he liked being a parent and hanging out with our kids so much. It's a far cry from the historical archivist he once studied to be.

A teacher's work is never done! \nThe best way to get organised is to put some systems in place.  This takes a bit of time to start with but subsequently only times, dates and names need to be changed.\nNo teacher starts with a blank sheet, don't be shy about asking your colleagues how they cope with certain tasks.  You will find that they are very willing and proud to share their tips with you.\nThe more organised you are the better teacher you will be.\nTry to do most of your school work at school, staying later or arriving earlier if need be and using every spare minute in the day so you can separate your school life from your home life (this will make you happier!).\nYour question is a little bit vague. Can you break it down into more specific areas?\nStart by organising your classroom so you have everything to hand and file or organise your resources in some sort of system so you can find what you need quickly.  You can do this  by alphabetical order or topic or numbers.  It's a big help to make use of colour labels/pictures/numbers for different things.\nDo the same for curriculum matters, exam papers, tests,etc\nOrganise your mark book so that you have a record of everything you need to know.  This need not be written down necessarily.  Example, if a pupil hands his homework late, circle the mark in green ink.  At a glance you will be able to see how many times this has happened.  Come parents' evening you can let them know this fact and/or write it in his school report. Devise other notations to tell you other things but keep it simple and keep a key to remind you what they mean.\nI hope that's been of some help and don't worry,everything eventually falls into place.\nGood luck\nMartine

I understand your frustration.  I have taught high school for 8 years and it is very discouraging at times to see the situations that exist in the classroom.  First of all, there is a mandate that Special Education students be mainstreamed into the general classroom population.  I have had a class of 34 students with 9 Spec. Ed. students (this is becoming more and more typical).  There are supposed to be teacher's aides to help in classes like that, but school budgets are spent so unwisely, at times, that there is no money for a teacher's aide for every teacher with a significant amount of Spec. Ed. students (who either have a learning disability, a behavioral disability, or an emotional disability).  This leaves the teacher and the students at a disadvantage.  Teachers now use more time on class management than on class instruction.  And, it's not just because of Spec. Ed. students.  For some reason many students like to "dumb down" on their own as to not be ridiculed by their peers for being too smart, a nerd, or a "lame".  School administration look at teachers with disdain and often let go of teachers with too high of a failure rate, so many teachers, when presented with a class or classes that do not produce on the expected level then create a curriculum that they feel the students have a chance to pass, even if it does not prepare a student to be on level.  Our educational system is in deep need of reforms that work, not just reforms that look good on paper but have no substance or effectiveness in the classroom or to the students.  I try to prepare students for high school and beyond, whether they are college bound, interested in vocational training, or ready to work once they graduate.  Teaching is a many tiered profession (teacher, counselor, mentor) if children are to be educated properly.  I worry about the same things you do, but I also know that the big decisions about education often do not rest upon  teachers' shoulders, but on an administration that is often too long out of the classroom to remember or know the things that work and the things that do not.  I only hope that it gets better before it continues getting worse.

A teacher who cannot communicate well is seldom hired.  Students must be able to discern what the teacher asks them to do in order to succeed.  Teachers who do not communicate well with the public often create confusion that is referred up the ladder to the principal, who does NOT enjoy having to clean up the mess.  Thus, such a teacher would not be retained since they create more work than they do.

It is important you know what is going on in the schools and how your child is learning and if they are smarter than the education they are getting.  Being involved has teachers treating your child better.  Keep informed on all that is going on and volunteer to help.  That way you have the inside track if something is not going correctly.

sorry but I'm on the teacher's side. It's her job to see that you get an education. When you're older and filling out an application for a job do you really want alot of misspelled words on it? Education is one of the most important things in life. She's not "a witch" she's just doing her job.

Can you clarify something for me?  Are you a middle, high, or college student....OR....are you a Teaching Assistant employed by a district?  I ask this because you may need to handle the situation differently if you are a student who assists your teacher from time to time.  When an adult, and employed through the district as a Teaching Assistant, you have every right to ask your CO-WORKER if you could talk with her privately after school re: your feelings/observations of her behavior.  Ask her if there is anything that you can improve upon within your role as an assistant.  This may cause her to share that her behavior has nothing to do with you, she may be going through some personal issues (which is still no excuse, but may help you to understand where she is coming from);  or she may completely deny any responsibility for her actions and start to work on it;  or she may point the finger at you and tell you she is frustrated with how you are assisting in the classroom (if this is the case, she should have talked about it at that moment in time, in a respectful manner while demonstrating how she wishes for instruction to be administered to students).  \n\nIf you are a student depending on a grade from her, that is a different story.  If her behavior is seriously concerning you, ask her if there is anything that you can do to improve upon your performance as her assistant (once again).  This will open things up for her to provide suggestions if there are genuinely areas in need of improvement.  Try not to bring up her behavior, as you are not officially considered a co-worker (even though her job would be much more difficult without your assistance). I also highly recommend that you DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT these occurrences of unprofessional behavior on her part, as well as what her responses were to any question you may ask her re:  your performance.  This will be extremely helpful if you need to dispute a grade, or recommendation.   If her behavior does not improve, DO NOT TAKE IT PERSONALLY!  I have been an assistant, and a teacher and I have worked with many individuals who should not be in the profession (unfortunately, it is the truth).  There are many educators who do not realize that it is also their job to lead by example, and treat students, assistants, and other personnel as they would wish to be treated.  I hope this has been helpful, and once again, do not internalize her behavior!!  It is likely that her behavior has nothing to do with you, or your performance.

As a former high school principal who hired social studies teachers, I would first of all expect you to love kids and to love teaching them. In an interview, I would expect to see you exhibit a passion for your subject, tell me the most rewarding experience you ever had teaching and the worst experience you ever had as well. As far as preparation in your subject, I would expect to see courses in world history, American history, and government on your transcript. The more courses in history, of course, the better.\n\nAs important would be your ability to use English correctly in both speech and in writing. Above all, I would expect you to be a caring, compassionate individual who was teaching because you wanted to help young people.\n\nGood luck!!
