Classroom Assistant Resume Success Stories
Classroom Assistant Duties and Responsibilities
A classroom assistant's daily duties and responsibilities can vary, but certain core tasks are universal. Based on our review of job ads, some of these tasks are:
Reteaching and Reinforcing Concepts Students who are struggling due to learning disabilities can benefit from individual instruction or small-group instruction after the teacher has taught the lesson. Classroom assistants reteach parts of the lesson to help the students understand or give helpful feedback to students who need encouragement.
Help Students Develop Appropriate Social Skills Because a large part of the classroom assistant's schedule is devoted to working directly with children, helping children develop their social skills is important. Classroom assistants provide direct guidance to students or implement social learning activities to promote these behaviors.
Assisting with Classroom Set-up and Maintenance The supervising teacher may ask the assistant to decorate bulletin boards, gather resources, move desks and chairs, or pass out learning aids. In addition, the teacher may request the assistant make copies of worksheets, help with grading tasks, or laminate and cut out learning aids.
Supervising Children as Needed throughout the School Classroom assistants may be asked to monitor school crosswalks before or after school, monitor in the cafeteria during lunchtime, or actively supervise playground activities. Their schedules may change, depending on urgent needs.
